Hi there,
Firstly, I hope I'm posting this in the appropriate place.
My FIL is coming to the end of a long illness, and we've been told it's likely he won't live more than a few more weeks.
We have 2 children - aged 8 and 4 - and feel like we ought to prepare them, and give them a chance to see their grandfather. Not only do we feel it's only right to start to prepare them, but we'd also like to give them the opportunity to visit and it would be quite apparent to them that he is very sick.
Does anyone have experience of this or advice that they'd be willing to share? We haven't experienced any bereavement since having the children and have no idea how to handle it.
Thank you,
NFC
