Child Life On Call: Parents of children with an illness or medical condition share their stories with a child life specialist


Apr 27, 2020

Elizabeth, mom to three girls, shares with us her experience of having a daughter with cancer. In just an hour and a half, her 9-year-old daughter went from a pediatricians office to a cancer ward. Elizabeth discusses her Elizabeth's "out of body" experience, how she was able to identify the "gifts" in each of her girls, and offers wisdom and compassion to others going through similar experiences.

We also talk about how the global pandemic of Covid19 and subsequent quarantine has impacted their family. Elizabeth is a writer by trade and published a book called The Puddle Jumper's Guide to Kicking Cancer 

which is available in both English and Spanish. You can listen to the book on YouTube. To get in touch or follow along with Elizabeth, you can email her at elizabethbillups@gmail.com or see her Instagram @teachingkidsaboutcancer.
