Guidance through grief
Here at Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation, we know how difficult it can be to see someone lose the life they once lived after being diagnosed as well as feeling the weight of grief after their passing. We want you to know that you are not alone. During difficult times, it is important we meet ourselves with a deep care and surround ourselves with support.
TCAF strives to provide valuable services to testicular cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. Please see the following programs we offer to help support you and offer connection and guidance through a very difficult time.
A beautiful way to honor a loved one is to speak about them but this is no easy task. Speaking about someone who is no longer here can bring up a lot of emotions. It is important to remember that grief is a process - it will be something that never leaves you but rather shapes how you live from this point forward. Grief comes from loss, but it is a reflection of our deep capacity to love - you cannot have one without the other.
