A young mom who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer shares how she told her kids and how she's preparing them for the future without her.
A young mother-of-two who was recently diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer has shared her heartbreaking story, detailing all the ways in which she's preparing her small children for a life without her.
After a week in hospital, an MRI confirmed the shocking diagnosis that nobody was expecting. Shortly afterwards, she traveled to Toronto, where a neurosurgeon began her treatment. The psychologist explained to her that kids have big emotions too, and many of the same fears as we have, just expressed in a different way, and that the best way to approach this situation is by being age-appropriately honest.
According to Mihill even though you think that telling your children you have terminal cancer is the worst possible thing you can tell them, children's brains wander beyond our imagination, and sometimes what's in their head is way scarier than reality could ever be. "We talk about being positive and seeing the silver lining in life. So when my kids come to me with their problems or their fears, just in everyday life, we just acknowledge that and we sit with those feelings until we find the silver lining. We find the joy and the dark time too because I think that's what life is truly all about, because every single aspect of life is going to be both positive and negative. Even our very best days come with their negatives.
"I've eliminated any personal accounts that I have, all of our accounts are joint accounts. I made sure all of the bills are in both of our names. I set up a bank account just recently for my young children, obviously, my husband and I are the owners of those accounts that are in my children's names so we can transfer money to them just before I die so that they don't end up with any tax implications.
