I have recently been diagnosed w/a terminal illness, however my 2 teenagers won't talk 2 me about it all they do is yell @ me and quit telling myself anything is gonna happen. I feel their in denial and I don't blame them cause I'm a little bit 2 but they don't know that. Also the rest of my family won't discuss it as well w/me. I think it's because of the thought of me passing and that's ok cause I learned 2 deal w/that but it's very important that my children and I talk about this. I'm a young mom. Thank You.

I want 2 thank every1 who's gonna give me advice or opinions on this question, since I have no other people or place 2 turn 2 @ this x. Also I'm still very healthy and am able to do just about anything w/my kids physically. Just 4 the record I'm not ready 2 go 2 any support groups @ this x because mentally I'm not able 2 handle it due 2 me being newly diagnosed, however I love the idea I'm able 2 communicate this way on yahoo

Yes, I would think that your kids are trying to avoid the issue because they are afraid to face reality. Maybe its about time that you stop focusing on your illness and spend precious quality time with them. A hug, a sigh, a smile says so much more than words. Maybe, if you are still able, take them to a quiet park for a picnic, or well prepared dinner served in the living room with pillows for chairs...eventually they'll open up and never stop praying for them and yourself.
You may also try an approach io have with my kids, I write them a letter. Give them each a gift that represents hoe important they are to you...maybe this will start them talking about how they feel about you and your illness.
I recently lost my Dad to bone cancer and the one thing that I remembered and treasured most was that he always prayed to God especially at his most painful moments. It comforted me to know that he is in God's good hands. I'll pray for you and hope that you too will find comfort in Him.

Well, I'm not sure how much time you have left. One thought would be to let it go for a few weeks, act like everything is normal, and then try again. I don't know.

I'm so sorry to hear about your illness. You should think about trying to get your children some counseling to help them understand what's happening.
