Hi all..

Just wondering if anyone has any good resources that aid in telling your child (11yrs) that their nanny is ill (we don’t feel she needs to know nanny has cancer as yet)

Thank you In advance

Hi , I’m sorry to hear about Nanny. You were asking about resources to tell a child I wondered if you had found the resources section on the Macmillan site I will put a link below for you to click on you can then download the booklet and or read through it.

You may also want to talk to others who have gone through or are going through a similar experience, if so you might want to join the Family and friends - Discussion Forum.

Take care
