"During my Mom's treatments I didn't have anybody I could talk to. After she was better I talked to a lot of people to see what else I could have done and how I could make it easier for other kids who were going through the same experience. This section is for you -- kids whose moms have been diagnosed with cancer. You can come here to find hope, help and connections to other kids who are going through the same experience." --Jon Wagner-Holtz, Founder of Kids Konnected, a support group for kids whose moms or dads have cancer "Now that Mom's sick, everything at our house is different.

It's sort of being left up to me to take care of myself." --Martha, Age 13 "At first I didn't ask any questions, although I had a lot of them. I thought people would think I was dumb, but now I know it really helps to ask." --Brad, Age 14 It's natural to be fearful about losing a parent. Mothers are unique and special people.
