Core Tip This qualitative study was a descriptive one that investigated the life experiences of Jordanian mothers with cancer children. Three themes were identified after in-depth interviews, namely transformative coping journey, support systems, and perceived challenges. Mothers coped by switching priorities and keeping emotions under wraps to seem strong and meaning-driven by religious faith in God. The most important part in battling stress was emotional and practical family support, as well as spiritual beliefs. The research indicates the necessity of culturally sensitive psychosocial and educational programs that would help mothers go through the complicated environment of pediatric cancer care in Jordan.
