Accompanying a loved one, living with an advanced illness, or coping with a loss can stir up difficult emotions. Here you’ll find resources to help you find small moments of calm and remember that you deserve care too.
When we go through a difficult time, support a loved one through an illness or experience a loss, we also need to look after our emotions.
Sometimes we can’t put a name to what we feel. Other times, we find it hard to ask for help, find a moment for ourselves or know how to support someone who is suffering.
That’s why Cudeca has created the Emotional First Aid Kit: a space with resources and practical ideas to help you understand your emotions, look after yourself and support those around you.
Self-care tools to make time for yourself and recognise your needs.
Guidance on supporting someone who is going through a difficult time.
Ideas to reflect on what you feel and how you can look after yourself day to day.
Explore the resources, choose the one that best fits what you need today and go at your own pace. You don’t have to put everything into practice at once or find all the answers.
This kit is not meant to replace professional support when you need it, but to bring you ideas and tools that can help you day to day.
Materials open to anyone who needs them.
A worksheet to pause and recognise what you need to take care of: your emotions, your boundaries and the way you support someone.
