title: Faculty-student mentoring. A father's chronic sorrow: a daughter's perspective.
abstract: Chronic sorrow often affects not only an individual who has a chronic illness or disability but the family members as well. This is the story of how chronic sorrow affected the life of a man diagnosed with prostate cancer and the family members who lived through it with him. It is told in the first person by his daughter not only as a tribute to her father, but also as a prospective learning experience for anyone involved with an individual moving through a chronic or terminal illness or disability. It integrates theory, research, and personal experience in an effort to understand this common human response to a chronic or terminal illness.
