Thanks Marg. I'm going to look up that book. I think the idea of her age and how she's getting more and more tired may be a good way of letting her know that her body is just beginning to wear out, instead of bringing up cancer as the reason. I will tell her that she has cancer too, of course, because the family talks and she will hear it, but I think perhaps the body wearing down could be the primary reason she's dying to a 7 year old.
Sharon, we are a faith-oriented family. I want to speak with my pastor about discussing this with Missy, too. I'm trying to think of all the avenues here. I know the questions are going to come in droves and many faith questions will come too.
