Preparing for the death of a loved one is tough. Many parents wonder if, when, and how to tell their children. Talking to children about what is to come allows children to not feel left out and gives them time to start processing their emotions. Shifting the focus from “we hope your loved one will get better” to “your loved one is not expected to get better” is difficult. Taking time to have this hard conversation benefits children long term as it builds trust and helps them not feel alone.
