Hi all,
DH's mum has been ill with cancer for about 3 yrs.
He found out on Friday that her prognosis has changed from years to a few months (as she is no longer responding well to treatment).
DH is upset and scared for the future. He rarely cries but has understandably done so a couple of times this weekend. Said he felt physically in shock - I think he had been avoiding thinking about the reality of the situation until now. I have some questions of anyone who has also gone through this:
How can I help him cope now?
How can I help him when she dies?
How much should we tell our 4yo?
Any advice welcome,
Thankyou
