My advice is yes, tell them now, because this is going to be hard not just on them, but on you too; you need each other right now! If you don't tell them, then you will be carrying two burdens, which may be too much; and, you might find yourself resenting your children, for their seeming indifference to your pain. I'm not saying you would, but you might. Sit them down around the table and say, "Please listen carefully to what I'm going to say, and don't interrupt until I'm finished..." or something like that. I'll include your family in my prayers.  |

I think you have been given very sound advice here Sarah. I will be praying for the strength you need and for you to find the right words to explain the situation and possibilities to your children. I will also pray for your Gram. MUCH LOVE  |

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma. I will keep her in my Prayers and Thoughts. As far as the Children go, death can be a scary thing for them, it's hard for an adult. Then again kids have a sixth sense about things especially these kinds of things. Do what you feel is best for them, wether it's better to tell them now or wait till later. *hugs*  |

It is always hard to explain to children what happens when someone passes over. In simple terms, I would tell them that God has given us all eternal life and when our time on the earth is over ... we lay aside the flesh body and continue to exist on the other side in a new spirit body and we will definitely see each other again.  |
