Hi can I have a ppp
It’s a sensitive subject
I have 2 son’s 7 and 9 from a previous relationship there uncle was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year he has been given 6 months at the most to live. How do I prepare them for this or don’t I? They are really close to him and I’ve no idea how they will handle it. They lost there great uncle suddenly a few years ago and it was a terrible time for them my eldest didn’t deal with it very well he had ADHD anxiety and is overly sensitive I’ve no idea how I go about this so any advice would be really appreciated thank you x

My mum passed away in January from cancer after a awful battle with it. My daughter was 4 at the time we lost her was extremely close to her. I was honest from the start about her nanny being so poorly. Didn’t tell her what it was as too much for her to understand but I tried to be as honest as possible throughout her being poorly and when we lost her. Awful thing to go through x
If there really close to him I would let them know . So they have that time to get use to him leaving. I was just saying that to my husband the other day that if something happened to me I would want my boys to know so that they still had that time with me before I left . But it’s really up to you
If you know they’re going to react badly I’d personally tell them. They’re at an age where they’ll most likely understand. Maybe turn it into a bit of a game though (sorry that might not be the best term) what I mean I’d get them both a box and they can collect things that remind them of their uncle, take pictures with him and put them in a frame, they could write letters to him. Maybe let them help care for him if they wanted to like if you visit him they could get him a drink etc. If you do decide to tell them I’d tell their teachers too and let your children know you’re always there if they want to talk about their thoughts and feelings x
