Sibling Support

Parents often express concerns about how to talk to their children about the diagnosis of a life-limiting illness. While there are a number of things to think about when deciding how to discuss the diagnosis, open communication can help children to feel included, respected and listened to. It may be helpful to speak with a member of your care team who can help answer questions and provide support.
