You&#8217;ve barely absorbed the shock yourself, and already, you need to find the words to tell others. Tell your siblings, your children, your close friends, the neighbors. Each announcement revives the pain, exposes vulnerability, and confronts you with the unpredictable reactions of others: tears, denial, awkwardness, or sometimes, withdrawal.<\/pee>\n<pee>Yet, announcing the diagnosis is essential: it allows you to mobilize support, explain behavioral changes, prepare loved ones, and break the silence that isolates. This guide gives you the keys to announce with accuracy, to whom, when and how.<\/pee>\n<pee><\/pee><\/div>\n<nav class=\"dynseo-toc\">\n<div class=\"toc-title\">\ud83d\udccb
