Yarning with someone
Having cancer can quickly become overwhelming and we can begin to feel isolated. Fortunately, one of our strengths as mob is rallying around those we care about during difficult times. We know that sharing our worries by yarning with those we trust can remove feelings of loneliness and can give us strength and hope.
Our mob who have had cancer say that yarning with others about what’s happening is helpful.
“We need to be able to talk openly,” one Aunty says. And “Talk – and listen – not only to your health care team but also to your family and friends”, an Uncle advises.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or worried, you might want to yarn with people you trust about:
- your feelings
- what you are thinking
- what you want to do
- what you need to feel better
