We talk to Elke about how she spoke to her young children about her breast cancer diagnosis and their father's death.

Elke sadly lost her husband to a heart attack in 2009, and was diagnosed with breast cancer three years later. Elke speaks about how she explained these difficult topics to her young children, and we talk about the books she's written to help other parents in similar situations.
