Death and Grief
If someone close to you has died, you may be feeling many different emotions. You may be sad, worried, or scared. You might be shocked, unprepared, or confused. You might be feeling angry, cheated, relieved, guilty,
exhausted, or just plain empty. Your emotions might be stronger or deeper than usual or mixed together in ways you've never
experienced before.
You might also notice that your loss is affecting what you're thinking about and how you behave.
If you're grieving, you might be having trouble concentrating, sleeping, eating, or feeling interested in the things you usually
enjoy. You might be trying to act like you feel OK (even if you don't) because you want to be strong for someone else. And
you may wonder if you will ever get over losing someone who means so much to you.
All of these emotions can be natural reactions to the death of someone close. They're part of
the process of grieving. Click on the link below to read all the information.

Cancer: definition:
any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body
through the lymphatic system or the blood stream. Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division
and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by migration
of cells to distant sites (metastasis). This unregulated growth is caused by a series of acquired or inherited mutations to
DNA within cells, damaging genetic information that define the cell functions and removing normal control of cell division.

Self Image issues.
Definition:
Self image is how you see yourself in relation to others. This may be how you see yourself physically
or it may be more about the idea you have of yourself which could also be called self concept. It is very important as it
affects your self esteem and confidence.
Self image includes:
- What you think you look like physically
- How your personality comes across
- What kind of person you think you are
- What you think others think of you
- How much you like yourself or you think others like you
How to Improve your Self Image
- List things you like about yourself - include appearance, personality and skills
- Change negative thoughts to positive thoughts by focusing on the positive ones and trying to forget the
negative things that happen to you
- Take up an exercise program - you will feel better and look better!
Make any changes you think would help you for example clothes, appearance, hair style, behaviour in certain
situations
Accept things about yourself that are true and learn to think about them in a positive way
Take yourself less seriously and lighten up!
Accept criticism in a constructive way so you can improve and develop
Don't be limited by your internal image, step outside of it and break free, it doesn't have to control
you or keep you down. Acting differently will change how others see you and will also help to change your own attitude towards
yourself and your abilities
