Dear 6king, Really sorry to hear about your awful news. Telling your children will be hardest thing you ever do. You will all be so upset. But they are teenagers, so will have sensed already that something is badly wrong. And although it seems difficult to believe now, you will start to feel better when the family knows and pulls together as a team. Your family life has not ended. Your husband's love and kindness will live on, never to be forgotten. I send you my very best wishes at this terrible time. xx Harry

I am so sorry for what you are going through it is such a shock and always all we want to do is protect our children.  When my husband and I were told he had cancer it was 2 days before Christmas and although our children are all in their late 20s we still didnt want to burst their bubble.  I like you have had times when all I have done is cried and cried.  I did phone McMillan cancer help line and they were so kind it did help.  Maybe you could ask them the best way to tell your children at least you wouldnt have to keep up a front.  I am still struggling myself although we do not yet know our outcome but we do have to look after ourselves to help us stay strong.  I wish you all the luck in the world
