abstract = "Objectives: To explore the difficulties parents face when understanding their children{\textquoteright}s reactions to parental cancer and parents{\textquoteright} reactions to their children{\textquoteright}s perceived needs. Research approach: Qualitative interviews with cancer patients and their partners. Participants: Eleven patients and seven partners took part. Their children were aged 1-15 years. Eight patients were mothers and cancer was diagnosed median 28 (7-104) months ago. Methodological approach: Inductive analysis with systematic text condensation. Conclusions: Parents were groping in the dark when understanding their children{\textquoteright}s reactions. They observed signs of distress in their children, but often avoided communication about emotional reactions. We suggest parental difficulties in containing own and children{\textquoteright}s emotions as an important cause for this situation. Implications: Parents lacked relevant support offers for the family as a unit. Identification of children{\textquoteright}s difficulties cannot be based on parental evaluation alone. We suggest family support as part of standard care for patients with minor children.",
