Guidance for supporting children through a parent’s serious illness

Drawing on a Massachusetts General Hospital program, this parenting guide addresses the practical and emotional questions that can arise when a parent is seriously ill. It centers children’s concerns while recognizing that they may express distress differently depending on temperament. The book presents ways to encourage conversation, better understand what a child may be feeling, and offer reassurance about care and security. Its scope includes both emotional support and planning around a child’s financial and day-to-day sense of safety, framing illness as a family experience that calls for clear communication and sustained attention to children’s needs.

  • Parents managing a serious illness in the family
  • Caregivers seeking guidance on discussing illness with children
  • Families concerned with children’s emotional and financial security
