[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do I tell my kids??[/quote] You do the best you can. You sit them down when it’s quiet and you give them an age-appropriate and truthful version of the diagnosis and prognosis. Young kids may not need more than “grandma’s sick.” Teens will likely want and need more information. Remember that kids with Internet access will research this on their own, so being up front and honest will increase the chances that they’ll come back to you with questions. I’ve done this twice with my kids, OP, for a family member with a Stage IV diagnosis. I wish your mom the best. [/quote]
