[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 29773, member: 1991"] It's hard when someone loved in the family shows their mortality. The children can be kept away (or keep themselves away) or stay involved. If they keep away then their memories of that person are only going to be the fun times with the whole individual, but if they get involved they learn more about the full spectrum of life with good times and bad. They need to see that physical frailty does not mean the person they love is no longer there. Children can be very healing, especially children who are loved. SHE do doubt wants to be well and difficult child can help her remember the well times and the fun they had. To be part of someone's life to the full, we need to embrace their death and the process of dying as well. We never exactly know when that will come but we need to remember - while a person is breathing, they're living. And while a person is living we should welcome and support that living. To be part of someone's life it to be part of as much of it as we can. I hope difficult child can cope with this - he needs to know that she WILL die, one day, maybe not from this. Meanwhile, she is very much alive and wanting his company. Marg [/QUOTE]
