A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat community Nellie3 although I'm very sorry to hear your husband is entering the latter stages of his diagnosis after a very long and brave battle with brain cancer.

I can't begin to imagine what you must all be going through but I hope it helps to know that we are here for you Nellie and we will do all we can to support you and your family at this very difficult time. 

I hope this guidance we have about talking to teenagers will be useful, but you may also want to look at the information and advice given by Marie Curie on how to support a teenager when someone has a terminal illness and Macmillan on preparing a teenager for loss.

There is support your children can access too. Winston's Wish is a charity that offers free online grief support to young people across the UK who are bereaved or facing the death of someone important in their lives. They also have a dedicated online space called Talking Grief where children can talk to others of a similar age about bereavement and coping with loss. Another charity, Hope Support services, supports young people aged 5-25 who have a loved one with a serious illness and Hope Again offers a safe space for young people who are coping with grief.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
