I'm sorry to put it in relationships but I just don't where else to put it. My BIL has been ill for a while, my Dh whilst closed, never saw each other a lot. BIL is now at my pil where they are caring for him between hospital visits. Dh went to see him yesterday and he was really shocked by how skinny and unwell he looked. He is too weak to start chemo as his heart beat faster each time he moves. My mil told my husband he doesn't have long left. We never told the children apart from the fact their uncle was sick, the eldest knows it's cancer but not our youngest. We need to tell them, how ? When : before or after Christmas ? We are all together after Christmas so I tought we could tell them after Boxing Day so we can have the time to explain, cheer them up. Thank you for your help
