Hey, at the end of February my wife Alice was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, our lives changed immediately. We trying to keep it positive for our daughters Joana and Rachel, It seems that they don't quite understand what's happening, and why mom isn't at home. We tell them that mom is sick, and it weighs heavily on them. Have you encountered a similar situation, and can you advise on how to handle children to minimize trauma?
