Preparing my teenage daughter

 

 

 

Hi,

My nan has just been diagnosed with cancer. She is yet to see the oncologist but the surgeons have said it is inoperable.

My 14 year old daughter has taken the news really bad. We are a very close family and she is very close to her great nan.

I'm struggling with the news myself but am trying to stay strong for my mum and my kids.

 I am going to tell her school next week but just wondering if there are any support groups for teenagers who have loved ones with cancer? 

 

Thanks x

    Sorry to hear about your nan and how your teenage daughter has taken the news.

    We have some information here on talking to children when a close relative is dying.

    It includes a section about teenagers with a link to a website which you and your daughter may find helpful.

    Best wishes to you and your family at this difficult time,

    Jane
