What, when and how to tell children

Hello, my husband aged 55 is on palliative care, after being told last week there is no more treatment, the same day they had planned radiotherapy for a fungating tumour on neck, he are deviated, and he is asking family to help him find someone else to help him which is heartbreaking.

He is presently being cared for at home, day and night nurses.  We have 7 year old twins and I cannot bring myself to tell them daddy will not be with us, they are all the nurses coming and going and just say is it making him better.  With my husband not dealing with it I am Struggling to speak with children or do I wait a little longer.

thank you
