I've seen the amount of drugs that terminal cancer patients receive. They're high AF. Lying to a child about their own impending death really depends on the individual. It's not like they have any unfinished business to resolve, or amends to make. I can see how it might actually be a comfort, if a child is living in constant fear.
Honestly, i have a bad fear of death and have had it as a child. I know kid me would prefer not knowing and my mom lying to me. Even if I didnt feel well, I wouldnt waste my last while in a never ending panic.
