mil had cancer, it has now returned and we have been told it is terminal. She is at home, it has gone to her stomach and lymph nodes and fluid has had to be drained off the lungs.
I would be grateful for
1/ Advice on how to tell dcs (9 and 6) they absolutely adore their grandma. We have said nothing yet, we only heard yesterday. I fear they will panic if we tell them gm is dying but perhaps I am wrong. My ds in particular is terrified of death and does not buy into the afterlife, dd does.
Also If grandma wants to see them is this something children can cope with, how have others dealt with this?
2/ Any practical advice about what help and support to offer mil. Practically hat do we need to do, tips on how to support my dear mil.
Thanks
