  Where have I been: Dealing with illness and grief Losing a teenage child to leukemia is an unimaginable loss, and coping with this grief requires deep emotional support, time, and patience. It's important to allow yourself to feel the full range of emotions—anger, sadness, guilt, and even numbness—without judgment.
