My Co-Parent Is Dying. What Now?

On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Lucy are joined by Allison Price from the Care and Feeding web column. Together, they take a letter from a listener whose husband is terminally ill… and whose kids are old enough to understand. We’ll talk about how to approach this conversation with kids and how to stay afloat.

And then, of course, we’ll circle up for a round of triumphs and fails.
