Things You Can Do to Help a Loved One with Cancer: 2

Emotional support - being there is already a big part of the help, but unfortunately you often feel powerless and don't really know how to help. Find out about the availability of psychological support for oncology patients. For example, in Riga there is a support association for oncology patients called "Dzīvības koks" ("Tree of Life"), which organises free support groups. Various therapies - art, music, movement - can also help. Psychosocial rehabilitation programmes for oncology patients, organised by "Dzīvības koks" ("Tree of Life"), are also valuable. It is important to find out about psychological support, as your loved one may not have the strength for this at the moment, so you can be a great support by gathering useful information for them.
