When cancer strikes a child, the whole family’s world shatters in an instant. Siblings also lose pieces of their childhood. While parents are balancing hospital stays, treatment schedules, work, and the impossible task of creating a "new normal," brothers and sisters are often watching from the sidelines, No matter how hard parents work to hold everything together (and it's so hard!), siblings experience the fear, trauma, and heartbreak right along with them. They are often called "glass children" because people tend to look through them and focus on the child who is sick. The impact on siblings doesn't end when cancer does. It shapes how they view relationships, process loss, manage anxiety and navigate their lives as adults in ways they don't recognize until years later. Through our sponsored therapy program, Georgia parents, patients, and siblings can access compassionate mental health support at no cost.
