How to tell family about your diagnosis?

Hi
As the wife of the husband with the diagnosis of leukaemia I felt it my job to tell my very young children.
I read them stories at night and every now and again would make up a story depicting their Dad - why he was tired etc.
There was no treatment except a blood test every 3 months.
You will find the best way. Your children's ages is dependant how you tell them. You will know.
The other spouse needs comforting too.
No hospice assistance in the days I had to go through it at aged 33 years.
Take care, JOY. (Tuckie)

Thank you for sharing this with us. You are such a brave and beautiful person. I give you so much credit for bringing young children and yourself through an awful journey. You're an inspiration to me.
