Part 2: Deals with how illness affects children, talking to kids, warning signs that illness is troubling children, conversations about death
Part 3: Discusses how illness affects relationships with fathers, grandmothers, girlfriends. Also talks about work and relationship (or not) with God
Part 4: How illness affects the future—things you can learn from illness and things you can teach the world.
