The kids are old enough to understand what's going on and also old enough to understand that it is better to leave this world surrounded by loved ones than it is to go out alone and treated like something to be afraid of. Sharing this experience can do nothing but strengthen the bonds of your family. Your children may get to see you and their mother profoundly affected by this process and will share in your grief and see you as caring human beings in a way they may not have seen before. It's not easy, but it's good and perfectly natural. Hiding them from it is the exact opposite.
