My 88 yr old MIL had what we thought was a minor fall last weekend as we were taking her out to lunch. Once in hospital for a check she deteriorated rapidly. Now the nurse says she might not make it though the night.
DD(4) and DS(2) are very close to their Nana. DD was holding her hand when she fell. They know she's in hospital to make her better but we've never had an opportunity to discuss death with them. We're not religious so talk of angels and heaven won't do. I have no idea what to tell them when she dies, if not tonight, then in the not too distant future.
Any advice?
