In a qualitative study, mothers (N = 4) of children with chronic renal disease were asked to share the meaning they assigned to their child's illness. The central theme of "uncertainty" emerged from the data and was described in three phases: (a) finding out, (b) learning to live with chronic illness, and (c) worries and dreams about the future. In this article phase three, labeled "learning to live with chronic illness," is presented.
