Know 'Your Crew': Match Tasks to Talents for Your Wellbeing (chase away reluctance to accept or ask for help)

Everything Cancer: the empowering extra-large suitcase of the cancer journey

Feeling like you're alone is an awful feeling. Jill shares useful ideas on how asking for and accepting help can be so much easier.
Your Crew' represents the group of people able to offer support. By matching the talents of individual crew members with specific tasks, everyone benefits. Your crew members feel fulfilled using their skills effectively, and you experience relief by having burdens eased.
One of the biggest hurdles in a cancer journey can be the reluctance to ask for or accept help. Set aside this hesitancy and prioritize your well-being. Start today by allowing yourself to accept the support that is available to you.
Whether it’s sorting through complex information handed out by healthcare providers, maintaining a part of your garden, organizing a room, or researching treatment options—there are countless ways your crew can assist. Leverage their skills to make your daily life and decision-making process smoother and more manageable.
Having a trusted crew member by your side during medical appointments can be invaluable. They can help ensure you ask the right questions, understand the information provided, and offer moral support during those tough conversations.
By understanding the potential of your support network and actively engaging with them, you can significantly decrease your stress and enhance your well-being.
