Ep. 11 - What It's Like to Be a Sibling of a Cancer Fighter…My 13 Year Old's Experience

I have an extremely special guest on the podcast today…my sweet 13-year old daughter, Selah! I asked her to join me because as a "Super Sibling"...or a sibling of someone who had cancer…I wanted her to share her experiences while her brother, Kicker, went through 3.5 years of treatment. I pray that this is helpful to the families listening today, and even though I knew a lot of her responses, there were still a couple of things that really surprised me! Here's what you can expect to hear… What Selah remembers the most about her brother's cancer journey. How it felt watching her brother lose his hair. The hardest parts of being the big sister of a little brother who was sick. How she felt about not getting as much attention as her brother. My encouragement to remember to do special things with the healthy sibling. Why we included Selah in some of Kicker's protocols. Selah's suggestions to my husband and I about what we could have done to help her feel more included. The amazing lesson she learned from Kicker's cancer…that I pray she never forgets! The importance of living in the moment. Some observations about how Selah remembers moments versus how I personally remember them. Our encouragement on what type of friends to have alongside you during the cancer journey! Selah's priceless advice for other super siblings!
