if they’re told the truth in an age-appropriate way, says Candace Ray, director of the Lighthouse for Grieving Children, a bereavement support organization in Oakville, Ont.

Ray suggests saying something like, “Grandma has cancer, which is a sickness that makes parts of the body too unwell to work anymore. And when certain parts of the body stop working, then the person dies.
