How the hell am I meant to explain?
She's been fighting cancer for almost 3 years so he's always taken her changing appearance as normal.
Hoe do we prepare him for the inevitable? She's currently extremely ill and doesn't want him to see her like that but we were away when she went into hospital and I don't want her to just disappear.
When we were told that there was nothing else to be done a couple of weeks ago he saw me upset and I explained that she was ill and the doctor didn't have the medicine to make her better. He started having bad dreams and for a couple of days his behaviour was awful. But he saw that she didn't look any different so was reassured.
We live opposite my parents so he sees them a lot.
What is the best way of dealing with this? I am struggling with it and very emotional (also pregnant).
