Sometimes you are separated from your siblings and family while they are receiving treatment. It can be upsetting and lonely. Here are some tips to connect with your sibling and family when you are apart.

  1. Host a virtual dance party. Connect over zoom, play some music and dance.
  2. Give your sibling a handcrafted gift. Like make some decorations for their room or bedazzle one of their toys and send it to them.
  3. Take one of their toys on adventures and take pictures. Share these with your sibling. Like one of their stuffed animals goes to school with you or goes on a hike.
  4. Become pen pals. Pass notes, crafts, postcards.
  5. See if you can plan a visit
  6. Ask your sibling to give you a virtual tour of their treatment room or clinic. Or have them draw a map of where they are.
