First name that comes to mind is Macmillan. That is what they do. They support victims but also their families. http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Home.aspx S -- To err is human but to really fowl things up requires a computer - anon |

i am so sad for you and your precious girl... i wish there was something i could say that would make all this easier, but i have never been through it and all i can do is imagine how it would be if my children's father was in the same position.... i have found this link, i don't know how helpful it will be, but i hope it will at least be a start... http://www.hospicenet.org/html/parent.html There may be people from the site who can give you the support and help you are definitely going to need in the coming months. i sincerely wish you well... gabrielle x "There is no such thing as liberty.

aw poor little girl. I shouldnt imagine that there is an easy way of breaking that to her. I can understand the dad finding it hard to face his daughter but its probably better to see her dad go gradually rather than seeing him in six months when he's gaunt etc.

This must be very stressful for you, so don't forget to look after yourself as well...it's important both for your own health and so you can help your little one! I don't know if you follow any specific religion, but I have found two kids' books written by a man named Neale Donald Walsch to be really helpful with the idea of dying, of souls and of seeing them again in the future...
They're called the Little Soul and the Sun, and the Little Soul and the Earth, and they're beautifully written (and illustrated if you get the illustrated copies). They also explain in a very gentle way why bad things sometimes happen. They're not for everyone, but I have found them invaluable to explain things both to kids and to adults! Hugs! Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. (R. Frost) |

You're already doing the right thing by seeking out these organisations. Children often hide their emotions, especially from parents at critical moments. How to tell them? How to deal with and help them now and helping them grieve when that time comes? These are all matters the specialists in these organisations can help you with. |
