[quote=Anonymous] My friends and I have been in life-threatening medical situations. All we can do is hope for the best, since it's rarely up to us at that point, and all we can do is wait for the spouse to give updates from the hospital. Personally, I would tell the children, in an age-appropriate way. I know this is going to sound morbid, but when I'm the one waiting for news, I go over everything I need to do in case the worse happens. We recently had a scare for my MIL (sepsis), and I realized all my kids' dark clothes were outgrown, so I ordered all I needed, just in case. I went over in my mind where to call to have pets boarded before the flight we'd need to take. I made a mental list of music she loves. It sounds terrible, but it eases my anxiety to think in practical terms. Best wishes, OP.[/quote]
