What questions to ask about a kid who had cancer and is dead?
I hаνе аn interview tο dο fοr thе school’s newspaper. Thе article іѕ аbουt thіѕ kid whο passed away bесаυѕе hе hаd cancer. Whаt аrе ѕοmе qυеѕtіοnѕ tο qυеѕtіοn аbουt hіm fοr hіѕ teachers, friends, аnd possibly family members?
Hе didn’t pass away long ago
I completely don’t know hіm аt аll.
Very tough subject. Has it been long since this person passed away?
I don’t know if you are a member or friend of the family, there are many variables. Talk with the family like you would anyone, just keep in mind how you have felt upon losing a name you cared a lot about. Wait a small while before you get into information of the illness. Call ahead at smallest amount once and tell the family that you are interested in honoring this persons life. Excellent luck,

Question about what he liked. i.e. things he was interested in, type of video games he liked, kind of movies, composition, books, pet foods.
Also question about any dislikes he had. vegetables?, which ones? why? meats? deserts, drinks etc. Also question about his general personality. Was he a clown or was he a Silent watcher? Stuff like that. If you don’t bring up his illness, his family might but try not to dwell on that. They will generally delight in talking about his amusing or endearing qualities & it helps them to remember the excellent things & not dwell on the dreadful way he died.
Question the sorts of things you would want to know – what cancer did he have? How long did he have it? How ancient was he? What did he like to do?
But please, PLEASE try to be sensitive, especially if you are considering speaking with his family.
I don’t know,
I am so sorry for your loss, it must be a very hard time for you. (they will answer)
After their response follow with something like, “Please, share some of your unique moments and memories.” That may be all you need to get started, people like to talk and share their feelings. You will have plenty of follow up questions once they start to share memories with you.
Excellent luck
What was he excellent at?
What did he like to do?
What made his unique to them?
What is their pet memory?
Try using these questions as starters and when question more questions based on their answers.
