When It Happens to You

S13E5 · 1992-03-11

Chris Brotherton is 46 when he is told he only has a few months to live. For Chris, his wife Annette, and their 10-year-old son [text removed], the following weeks are full of emotion as they cope with his illness and the strains it produces. A brain tumour affects his speech and family roles change as communication becomes difficult. But Chris fights back and they go on a last holiday. Acceptance of death is an issue we all have to face. Chris and his family made this film in the hope that it would help others in a similiar position.
