Helping 7-11 years old Cope When The Parent Has Cancer
We know that when a mom or dad has cancer, life can be stressful. Things might feel like a roller coaster ride for a while. You might have lots of different feelings when you are first told that your mom or dad has cancer. Some kids feel sad, scared, angry, worried or confused. There is no one right or wrong way to feel. It helps to be able to talk about your feelings with a grown-up or a friend. Know that things will settle down. Cancer does not mean your mom or dad stops being your parent. Even if they can't do all the things they used to do, they can still listen, talk and love you.
