Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. There are points in our lives where we may find ourselves wondering "who am I now?", "what is my purpose?", "is this how I want to live?". We may grapple with a yearning to be truly understood by the people around us, a desire to make sense of the suffering we've experienced and hold deep set fears about illness and death. We may feel fundamentally different compared to others and who we used to be leaving us unsure of ourselves, our needs and our interactions. Different stages of illness and periods of our lives may also bring on new questions and concerns for us to explore so we can connect with what matters most to us.
