Yeah it was lovely, sat around playing board games and being almost normal. Had to tell my eldest I'll not be going home though, which was upsetting. He asked outright, and I can't lie to him or give him flase hope that would be worse.Originally posted by mudskipper View Post+1 for the hospice.

Honesty is definitely best with kids. And it's fine for them to see you upset, means they know it's OK for them to show they're upset too. Sounds like they've had a nice, family day to remember.Comment
