Question: 

Hi Rick,

I have 4 kids, my son is 18 years old, a 15 year old daughter, 13 year old daughter, and 9 year old daughter. The 15 year old is wondering what is going on with my wife, because during this recovery process my wife has been very emotional. But the rest of the kids still don't know anything. Should we tell her or wait? And how to tell her if we should, please give me advice.
