For most parents, few things are as frightening as hearing from the doctor that your child has cancer. Parents are dealing with their own fears and confusion at this time. Yet, they must also face the task of helping their child understand his or her diagnosis.
It is painful when someone you love dies. Grief is your emotional response to loss. While grieving, it is normal to feel sadness, regret, anger, and other feelings. You might feel like the pain will never end, and grief can come and go for months or even years.
It might seem impossible, but there are ways to adjust to life without the person you lost. The grieving process can be long and difficult, but there are things you can do to help yourself through it.
You may be worried about how your cancer diagnosis will affect your family and friends. A cancer diagnosis causes complex feelings and lifestyle changes that can be overwhelming for you and the people you are close to.
Understanding the potential changes in the way you relate to specific family members and friends may help you take steps to grow and maintain healthy, mutually supportive relationships during this challenging time.
