The meaning of life is a unique and crucial concept, especially for individuals facing severe life challenges. For children with cancer, the meaning of life can serve as a primary source of motivation and hope to continue living. This study aims to explore the meaning of life in children with cancer and the role of community guidance and counseling in their search for meaning. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the findings show that two participants have discovered their meaning of life, which is reflected through three value sources: creative values, experiential values, and attitudinal values. Community guidance and counseling play a significant role in supporting children with cancer through group guidance, individual counseling, and psychoeducation for the community to increase awareness and support for these children.
