When Charlotte Corbeil Coleman was 15, her mother died of cancer. Following her death, family friend Linda Griffiths became another mother to Charlotte. Two years ago, Linda too died from cancer. In "A Tale of Two Mothers", we hear about the emotional toll of false hope, how our inability to talk openly about death affects the caregiving experience, and how nurses might better support the ever increasing number of informal caregivers in this country.
