Upcoming Webinar:
9/23/2026 (Wed) "Caring for Children and Youth Loss and Grief"
Speaker: Ms Blanche Chen
We were all children once, and when we are faced with the first serious illness in our lives or the death of a significant loved one, we more or less feel confused, scared, worried, and even guilty ..... However, the love and protection of Chinese parents can sometimes be overwhelming. When a serious illness or death occurs in the family, the feelings and needs of the minor child are sometimes unintentionally ignored and often deliberately isolated as the only outsider. However, these protections invariably become deep regrets that cannot be repaired. These regrets can affect how a person approaches life, love and emotions, interpersonal interactions, and attitudes towards life in the future. ...... When we finally grow into adulthood, if our children or descendants are experiencing the first major loss of their young lives, can you remember what kind of companionship and comfort your once-self needed as a child? Comfort? Can we, through our own recollections and reflections, give our children the appropriate support and care so that serious illness and death are no longer just the negative effects of helplessness and powerlessness, but the positive forces of gentleness, compassion and gratitude for life?
