This category is dedicated to the experience of young people that have a parent with cancer or other chronic illness. The grief associated with this experience can be uniquely isolating, and we hope that this space can offer some empathy, answers, and a sense of community.
The rules we expect our users to follow are included below:
- Be respectful and exercise empathy
- Remain understanding of the fact that everyone’s experience with grief is different
- Absolutely zero tolerance for posts or comments that encourage, enable, or suggest self-destructive or self-harming behavior
- If you are providing scientific information, provide references
- No self promotion
- No selling, trading, fundraising, or requests for money permitted
- No photos of deceased individuals or individuals on life support permitted
- Do not offer advice if the original poster explicitly states that they do not want advice
Any disrespectful, offensive, hateful, or harmful comments or posts will be promptly removed.
