I'm really hoping for some advice or suggestions. My father is a loving and much loved 'Grandpa' to my 2 young children aged 2 and a half and 6 months. Heartbreakingly, he has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer and is rapidly on the decline. I realise my youngest will have no understanding of losing him, but my toddler will. She is a very chatty, very sensitive little girl and I know there will be questions. I'm worried about what to say and telling her the doctors can't or couldn't make him better. In her wide eyed view of the world doctors make everyone better. Has anyone got any experience or advice they can share on how to help young children through such an upsetting experience and how best to answer some of the more tricky questions? Many thanks.
