just got asked an impossible question

[tattoomommy03]

My friends little.girl who is 9 yrs old has been fighting cancer. Dr told.parents it has not responded to treatments.. so heartbreaking.. dr said the little one has maybe a month left to live.. im so heartbroken for this family that ive been in tears since ive been told. Holding my babies super tight..
But they asked me a question that i couldnt give an honest answer because i am not in this situation...
The question was ' should we tell our daughter she is going to die? '...
How does one answer this??
Me personally, I dont think I would because i wouldnt.want my child to be scared and to live happy... i dont know...making me think and its getting me down.. what would you do?

I know... i couldnt do it.. i know she has a right to know, but she need to be a kid.. worry and fear free... i cant stop thinking about this

That's so heartbreaking. My first thought after I read that was absolutely they should tell her. She has a right to know. After I thought about for a while, I really don't know what I would do. Maybe it would be best for her to live out her last days as a child. What a horrible thing to have to even think about. It's so heartbreaking that they even have to make that decision and then know what is going to happen.
