very thankful they are as we work through this journey.
We do have a missionary son and he struggled at first with the news. It was a tough couple of months for him but he gets extra one-on-one calls with mom and that seems to help.
We also have a 16 yo daughter. Her HS diving coach trained her through 2 years of his cancer treatment then passed away. It was really hard on her, he was an exceptional coach. His daughter is now the diving coach. Additionally, her best friends mom just got through her treatment journey for cancer shortly before that as well. So, we were very worried about where her headspace was at. Essentially she told nobody else about her mom's diagnosis except her best friend who was with us when we got the phone call. She didn't even tell her new diving coach, boyfriend, or any other close friends. It would seem all of those people would provide support, especially her diving coach. She seems to not want others to know, maybe she doesn't want to alter her relationships, or she doesn't want sympathy, or something else. While she seems super resiliant, we have been careful not to simply assume everything is ok. Parenting is tricky stuff.
