What is the name of this film?

Does anyone know the name of a film that was set in 60's/70's about a young family and the mother was dying of cancer (I think)? I think the title or theme tune had the word sunshine in it. The family were quite hippyish

Think it might be - The 1983 (?) film Who Will Love My Children starring Ann-Margaret as a dying mother who tries to find homes for her children.

Possibly a 1974 made for TV film called "Sunshine".  A character study based on a real life journal of a terminal cancer case, a non-establishment couple and the doctor who tried to save the young woman.   In the end she declines modern treatments and goes back to the hills where she finally dies (with John Denver's song Sunshine on My Shoulders playing).  Actually very moving (and this is from a male speaking).

That's the one!  Thanks Doorknob!  If I remember rightly the final scene is the Father and Daughter scattering her ashes with his new woman in the mountains with the John Denver song playing.  You are a star!
