Well, first of all, if it is you that is fatally ill, my condolences.
If you must do this, I would seek the advice of a counselor, such as a hospice counselor. They would have better advice and more experience in the best way to handle this news. Also, hospice can help both the victim of the disease and the family as well. Good luck to all of you.

WOW! uh?! That's a tough question! I do not think there is a special way, it all depends on how well you know you Family, and how close you are to them, not to sound crass but ask yourself, will I be missed or am I just a burden, most likley you will be very much missed, and ther is bound to be a lot of tears, If it were me I'd start with the one you are closest with, and after wards if that goes well ask there advise and mabye some help on how to deliver suck a blow to the others, if it is to dificult, mabye a close friend can help. I do not know anything about you or you family, but, I will say a prayer for you to find the stregnth and courage to.... GOD Bless and best of hope for you and yours. Dino.

Depending on the age of your son. Depending on the strength of your faith in God. When my husband passed, or I should say prior to passing, the Dr. took me into a quiet room and explained the illness, the diagnosis, and the fact that he was going to die. The way he made it sound like it was the best thing for my husband was wonderful. Just make sure you have answers for their questions and don't make them feel like they can't talk to you about how they will handle it after you are gone.

Do you want to tell them? Or do you want the doctor to do it? Do you want the doctor there when they are told? Do you want to tell them as a group, or individually? Wow, this is going to be so hard. My heart hurts for you. They are your family and I'm sure you will find the best way to give the message to each person involved. Good Luck.

I think you just have to tell them the situation and separate your son from other family members. They likely will have very different questions.
I can't be more specific without details. I am very sorry though.

Tell them God gave you only x amount of years to live and each year is a gift and now your time is up. And tell them how much they have enriched your life and how much you love them and hwo much they mean to you.
p.s. If you meet God beseech him to end the suffering on this world.

Tell them death is the end part of living, the sooner you tell them, the more time they have to prepare themselves.
Do your will, and do the best you can to provide for them for when after you're gone.

There is no good way. It's going to be crushing news regardless but you have to tell them. They will want to cherish every moment with you.
