Well, I tell the parents that I have on my support forum - and we deal with a chronic life threatening illness - do learn everything that they can about the disease that their child have. Watch for symptoms but treat them normally as you possibly can. That they may need to see a therapist to get coping skills as it is very easy to bottle worries and emotions up. That is ok to get help.
To cross bridges as they come and do their best to roll with the punches. Be as supportive as they can but no smothering.
Hope that helps!

Obviously you would want to love and care for them. However it would also be important to respect their wishes. Sometimes when things like that happen all people really want is normality and for people to treat them the same as they always would. It's a strange thing, but chroonic illness can sometimes bring out the best in people and reveal strengths and dignity you never knew you had.

I would make the best of the time I had left with them and make sure all of the "affairs" that need to be taken care of are in order. Then I would also look for a way to help them and make them as comfortable as possible.

be very loving and supportive and offer any help i could leaving is very cruel they need you the most they may push you away but dont leave just give them space and when they are ready they will come to you, never push them away with hugs&kisses you dont know what that means to them also when they feel like it talk about the illness and just listen they dont want advice just someone who will listen to them

hopefully, the same thing that my partner is doing for me, standing by be, and being supportive and understanding, and loving me the same as before my diagnosis. even tho MS isnt as life threatening as other diseases, we know what can and will eventually happen.

I'd make them happy as much as I could, do things they wanted to do, spend more time with them and support them in every way I could...
My grandma is in this position too...it's all you can do...make them the happiest person before they close their eyes forever...

does this sound really bad? i think i would be able to cope pretty wel if it was my husband, we'd work thru it together. i would be devistated.
i wouldn't be able to cope at all if it was one of my children. i would go to pieces.there is no way i could grieve for my babies. (one is nearly 7 and one is about to have his first birthday) it would kill me too. i hope it doesnt happen to any of us or any of you either.
