    In this assignment, I am going to be focusing on a teenager who has a terminally ill parent and how they would cope within the situation and what key issues you need to focus on in order to make the transition/change a success. The age group I am focusing on would be 16 – 18year old's. This is going to be a very difficult time in the teenager’s life so it is important that the correct support and planning is put in place to help make this experience easier. There are many key issues that you need to focus on when it comes to a young adult dealing with a close bereavement such as a parent, however there are going to be two key issues that I am going to be focusing on and that will be planning and the overall effect it has on the young person. I think this is important because " every year around 0.3% of all families with children under the age of 18years encounter parental cancer, and 3.1% of minors and 8.4% of young adults have a parent that has been diagnosed with cancer" (ncbi.gov, 2012)
