[quote=Anonymous]^^^^ Everything the hospice minister said. I would like to add that it is okay to cry and have your child comfort you. They need to learn how to do that. I don't mean be your support system, I mean cry and put their hand on your back or hug you. Also you should stress that cancer does not mean death and that many people (most) get cancer and live. You don't want him to think cancer always means death. Life is best lived when we understand how to face the worst and still thrive. Your child needs to see a hard time handle by your family and in a few years, you will still be thriving. He needs to learn care and compassion. So if there are cousins he may see times that that are not at their best and that is okay.[/quote]
