My 12 year old Grandson's best friend has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I'm finding it really hard to deal with. The timescale is 6 - 12 months but he may not make it to his 12th birthday in 2 weeks. My husband and my best friend both died of cancer - in both cases, short and aggressive. I was with them both when they died and just can't cope with this beautiful little boy dying like that. Plus, how on earth do we help my Grandson through this? I've always had to be the strong one and know I'll have to be again but it's so hard. ..
