Tell Them the Truth Posted: 10-15-06 01:58am
In my personal opinion, you should tell
them the truth. Explain to them exactly
what is happening and answer any questions
that they have. Honesty is the best
policy in this situation. It is going to
be a very difficult situation for them to
deal with, but they should never be left
in the dark about what is really going on.
Hopefully they have good friends and
family support and will be able to rely on
each other to get through this ordeal. It
is good that there are three of them, I
think. I have three step-siblings whose
father committed suicide when they were
all very young and they are now very close
to each other because of what they had to
go through.

If I were u I would just tell the the
truth. Its the only way to do things. It
will be hard for them to except as its
their mother. They will always miss her a
great deal. Honesty is the best policy in
this matter. Ill be glad to help you in
anyway I can. I feel for the mother as it
must be very hard on her knowing she will
leave them. I love children and if u need
help or someone to talk to u can email me
at pink
angel71@hotmail.Com. I wish u all the
best of everything and im truely sorry
things have ended up this way. Death is
unfair to all of us. Espically when u
have to leave young children behind. Im
sure sorry
