How can you best support your child(ren) when a serious illness can’t be cured? This WonderChat is not about end of life, but is instead about adapting to life when a parent’s illness is chronic and potentially life-limiting. Join other Bright Spot families as we focus on how to talk about it, how to create your family’s new normal and ideas for capturing lasting family memories. We will focus on children of all ages with an emphasis on supporting young children 8 years and younger.

Parents with cancer, partners, loved ones, and cancer care teams are all warmly invited to attend.
