When Life Changes

A terminal or life-limiting diagnosis often takes more than time it can quietly diminish the feeling of truly living.

While the days continue, energy fades, plans fall away, and the simplest joys like travel, connection, or pleasure begin to feel out of reach.

It's not only about what the body can or can't do. Illness can gently, invisibly, erode a person’s sense of agency, spontaneity, and fullness.

Even with a deep desire to make the most of the time remaining, many find themselves stuck too unwell to plan, unsure where to begin, or without the support to turn intention into experience.

The time is still there. But without help, it can quietly slip through the cracks.

What We’ve Seen — and Why We Care

Hi, I’m Jack — the founder of Project: Life.

In 2023, my dear friend Anthony passed away from mouth cancer. During his final months, my friend Darren and I cared for him full-time. There was no formal plan — just love, and the belief that no one should have to face that journey alone.

Anthony often spoke about wanting to visit Ireland one last time. It meant the world to him. But as his health declined, that chance slipped away — not because he gave up, but because the support simply wasn’t there to make it happen.

From Loss, Something Lasting

That experience left a lasting mark on us.

Anthony’s story isn’t rare. Across the UK, thousands of adults approach the end of life with unspoken wishes and unfinished moments — not because they’ve lost hope, but because they lack the support to make those final desires real.

And often, it’s not the grand gestures that matter most. It’s the quiet, personal things — a familiar place, a cherished person, a chance to speak from the heart, or simply a moment of peace.

That understanding is what lit the spark behind Project: Life.
