[quote=Anonymous]My brother's wife was diagnosed with lung cancer (not a smoker!) when the children were 3 and 6. She struggled for a year and half before passing away. You're kids are much older. It took years for my brother to recover (emotionally) but children with the right support structure do fine. Make sure you and your wife still make them feel like kids and do some of the same things that you've always done so your illness isn't the only thing going on. It's been 6 years, and they are fine. As indelicate as this sounds (and when the time is right), you may want them to know that its ok for mommy to find another loving husband and it's ok for them to have a new dad. Children struggle with feeling they need to be loyal to a dead parent.[/quote]
