What questions to ask about a kid who had cancer and is dead?
I have an interview to do for the school’s newspaper. The article is about this kid who passed away because he had cancer. What are some questions to ask about him for his teachers, friends, and possibly family members?
He didn’t pass away long ago
I completely don’t know him at all.

Ask about what he liked. i.e. things he was interested in, type of video games he liked, kind of movies, music, books, favorite foods.
Also ask about any dislikes he had. vegetables?, which ones? why? meats? deserts, drinks etc. Also ask about his general personality. Was he a clown or was he a Quiet 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 enjoy talking about his funny or endearing qualities & it helps them to remember the good things & not dwell on the horrible way he died. -
Ask the sorts of things you would want to know – what cancer did he have? How long did he have it? How old was he? What did he like to do?
But please, PLEASE try to be sensitive, especially if you are considering speaking with his family.

Perhaps,
I am so sorry for your loss, it must be a very difficult time for you. (they will respond)
After their response follow with something like, “Please, share some of your special moments and memories.” That may be all you need to get started, people love to talk and share their feelings. You will have plenty of follow up questions once they begin to share memories with you.
Good luck -
What was he good at?
What did he like to do?
What made his special to them?
What is their favorite memory?Try using these questions as starters and when ask more questions based on their answers.

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 someone you cared a lot about. Wait a little while before you get into specifics of the illness. Call ahead at least once and tell the family that you are interested in honoring this persons life. Good luck,
