Betty is a mother of three who has just been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer.
Betty wants to avoid making her children sad.
Betty tells the kids right after her diagonsis and asks for their support.
Betty withholds the fact that she has cancer until just before her death.
The kids are sad at the news but their support is enough to help Betty battle and survive the cancer.
The kids feel both shocked at the seemingly sudden death and resentful that she hid it from them.
