‘I really feel like I am ageing early’: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of the lived experience of young adults with life-limiting conditions (YALLC) by Poh Heng Chong, Xiangyi Chen, Zhi Zheng Yeo, Celene Ting, Ya Nee Poh, Qishun Raymond Ang

“…In-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted, and verbatim transcripts analysed iteratively.Results Four major themes emerged: (1) living with limitations and in limbo—compressed timelines and confusion, triggered by dissonance between age-expected versus developmentally appropriate aspirations and goals; (2) experiencing identity crises, confronting existential concerns and chasing the elusive goal of enduring connection—struggle between public versus self-identities, including issues around self-worth and purpose; (3) striving for autonomy while tolerating interdependence/codependence—tensions arising from their desire for independence against the need to rely on others and (4) accepting and appreciating LLC as integral to one’s existence—demonstrating adaptability, creativity and resilience. Themes highlight a complex interplay of push-pull factors encountered by YALLC at multiple levels as they strive for a normative or negotiated life course.Conclusion YALLC face an intricate web of physical, psychoemotional, social and financial challenges compounded by underlying, persistent or progressive illnesses. …”
