First of all I am truly sorry to hear about your prognosis, nobody really knows what they would do in your position, I would like to suggest making videos of yourself for your daughter to watch after you are gone telling her you love her and maybe for important events in her life that you will miss like graduation, first date, wedding day , first baby ect!. Tell your daughter you love her constantly and that you will always be watching over her!. God bless you in your time of need!. I will be praying for you and your little girl!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Wow, this is going to be tough!. I think you will have to be as honest as you can with her, and as age appropiate as you can!. Start by telling her that no matter what, you will always love her, even when she can't see you anymore you will still love her!. You don't want to leave her, but you won't be able to help it!. It will happen, and you don't know when!. Perhaps you two could work out a way for her to know while she is little that you will always love her!. My Grandmother told me that whenever I saw a wild rabbit to think of her!. She loved the rabbits that came into her yard!. I wasn't a 6 year old, but even at my age I don't see a wild rabbit that I don't think of my Grandmother!.
My thoughts are with you, this will be so hard for both of you!. Hopefully the Aunt and Uncle will also help her work through her grief!. I can't imagine being 6 and losing my Mommy!. As a Mommy, it has to be tearing you up to prepare her for when you won't be with her anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My 42 y cousin who recently lost his mom to some form of c ancer says THERE IS NO EASY WAY!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
I prefer using the word "MIGHT" not be here to see her grow up; but IF you aren't you WILL be watching from above the clouds!. !.!.!.!.!.in 1980 the doctors told my Dad to make funeral arrangements -- there was absolutely NO way I'd live 4 wks to see age 13!!!! ~hello~ Its up to GOD when you leave!. Start atteding church, if you don't already that is!. Seek counsel from the church on how to tell your daughter (especially so that she doesn't put the two as one!)!. Never say it will positively happen! Maybe, or probably are good choice words!.
You spend as much time with her while she is getting to know the aunt & uncle!. I wouldn't tell her right off that these are going to be your new mommy & daddy after I die because she may resent them as she grows up!. Let her make a few decisions!.!.!.!.!.!.as it gets closer to the end ask for her help in deciding what should/could be your last outfit to wear!. Take her shopping w/ you for a wig or handband!.
Tell her one day while watching tv health channel about kids w/ cancer!.!.!.!.!.!. Good luck w/ everything!!!!!!!!!.!.!.!.!.!.
May the Lord keep you & your daughter (aunt & uncle too) safe!!!!!!!!!!!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

in some cases some parents dont want their young children to know that they are dying!. to keep them from being scared!.
and in your case you want to tell your child!.
so just tell her that you wont be around for a long time and that you have to go away and that someday she will understand and just tell her every single day that you love her unconditionally, and spend your last days together doing things that are fun so that she will those days in her memory!.
and to be honest i dont know what you are going through and i hope i never do but i do understand that this is a very hard time to go through
im soo sorry to hear that and best of wishes to you, and your daughter!.
God bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am so sorry but I know that's not what you want to hear!. I just watched a show tonight that said to definetly not say anything relating to "going to sleep"!. They said that some children will be scared to go to sleep after the whole ordeal!. I know there is no easy way to tell anyone you are going to die but it has to be done!. I think you should just follow your instinct and make it as simple as possible!. They said on the show to tell them that mommy is going to be really sick, so sick that it is going to make your heart stop and that you won't be able to be around anymore but you will always love them!.!. I know that this is hard and I know you have probably heard how you should keep fighting but i have been through chemo and I understand!. I know for sure if i had a relapse i couldn't do it again!. I know you have made a decision and it wasn't an easy!. I support you and my thoughts and prayers go out to your daughter, you and your family!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Wow, I am so sorry for your prognosis, and I will definitely pray for you and your daughter!.
Just explain to her in simple terms that you're sick and that you might not live for much longer!. She probably won't understand at first because she is so young!. But just try to spend as much time with her as possible!. Make sure you leave good memories!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am so sorry-and i will pray for you!. Your daughter knows how much you love her!. My gran had a brain tumour!. I was six at the time!. My mum told me that she would be there forever watching over us!. Every move we make she will be watching!. And even though we could not see her, if you feel a breeze, it's her!. If you we ever had a weird thought-it's her!. Remember that your daughter will not be alone!. She will understand!. Though your not in physical form, she will be able to tell you are there!. You will be in her dreams!. Tell her to think of something which connects the two of you-perhaps a joke you both share or something you always do together-a photo you treasure-or a smell that reminds her of you!. Remind her that everytime she experiences this feeling or emotion, its you telling her you are there with her!. Take this advice, and if you tell her this, she will be comforted knowing that you are protecting her forever!. Tell her that whenever theres a breeze in the air-your protecting her!. Tell her when the sun comes out, your smiling down at her!. Tell her you love her, and jsut because you won't be with her physically everyday, doesn't mean the love will be any different!. Make a video with you and your daughter-capture the memories on a format that she can watch-record what i have written on a video camera!. Give her something to remember!. Tell her that she is the most important little girl in the world, and that just because you are not here physically, you will never stop watching over her, and when she feels a breeze, has a dream, or sees the sun, it's you, watching down on her!. Tell her you'll be watching her throughout her life-keeping her safe!. And tell her that you are proud of her, and always will be!.
I will pray for you!. I admire your bravery!. You are a remarkable woman!. I also think you should give her something to remember you by-go out for the day, and make a movie, sit at the camera and talk, she needs something like that!. She needs a film to remember you by-even involve her in it, have fun, film yourselves having fun-don't let the chance pass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
