Table 3.

Jane’s I-Poem

My relationship with my oldest cousin
I mean as almost as dramatically
With my mom
Changed this relationship with my cousin
I am one of the youngest cousins
I barely knew her
I always kind of had this weird impression of her
We were very, very different
I started talking to [cousin]
I had never been close
I just felt this bonding
Our relationship has just grown and grown
[cousin] came and stayed with me
I was like, “Well come sleep here”
We were having so much fun
We text all the time
We were just texting
I never would’ve had relationship without this cancer thing
