   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters It sounds to me like you are doing a great job. I don't know what kind of advice to give other than avoid putting too much responsibility on the older child. Make sure the children's security will be addressed. Make sure that they know that they will be alright. It's true, kids aren't dumb, be sure to be gentle but honest, always stressing that they will be okay. Make sure that you get all your unfinished business out of the way. For example, your living will, DNR, funeral arrangements, Last Will & Testament, designation of health care surrogate. Getting this stuff done will save your family a lot of grief down the road. Now, while you still have some strength, try doing some fun stuff with the kids. Teach them how to fish, fly a kite, make papier mache, etc. That way the memories won't be all about how sick you were but also how courageous and loving. Good luck to you and I hope that things go well with you and your family.PS I love the diary idea — you could even audio tape it.

   I'm so sorry about that that is the hardest thing for someone to do, tell their kids….if it was me i wouldn't tell my younger kids i would just tell the eldest because he would understand whats going on whereas the other 2 are too young to understand…..i would write a diary so that they can read later on when they are older about how you were feeling and how much you care about them and that you couldnt tell them because they are too young to understand, this is really hard i'm not sure if this would be the right thing to do but i really hope that you get better and spend more time with your kids
