MAID - Terminal Illness/ Family Members

MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) can be an incredibly difficult decision for both individuals facing terminal illness and their family members, and it's important to approach the process with compassion, understanding, and support for everyone involved.

How we can help

At Eveningstar Psychotherapy, we understand that facing a terminal illness or making decisions about end-of-life care, including Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), can bring profound emotional, spiritual, and psychological challenges. Whether you are an individual living with a terminal illness or a family member navigating these difficult decisions, we are here to offer the support, compassion, and understanding you need during this deeply personal journey.

For individuals with a terminal illness, the decision to consider MAID may bring feelings of relief, fear, guilt, and uncertainty. We offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore these complex emotions, fears, and thoughts. Our therapists help you work through the emotional impact of your illness, addressing any feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, or anger, and providing tools to help you find peace and acceptance in the face of a challenging future.

For family members, the process can be equally emotional and difficult. You may experience feelings of grief, confusion, or helplessness as you navigate your loved one’s decisions. Our therapists work with families to help you process your feelings, manage any complex dynamics, and offer strategies for coping with grief, loss, and the emotional burden that comes with supporting a loved one through such a profound experience.

At Eveningstar Psychotherapy, we offer guidance for individuals and families who are navigating terminal illness and MAID decisions. Our goal is to help you find clarity, peace, and support, ensuring that you can face these difficult decisions with compassion and understanding. Whether you need individual counseling, family therapy, or simply a listening ear, we are here to walk with you every step of the way during this profound and emotional time.
