[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old has always dreaded death and hates even hearing the word “death.” She broke down at school this week over her grandmother’s recent death (we told her the news a few days earlier and she didn’t react at the time), so all week I’ve been trying to engage her with kid-friendly discussions about death. She has been resistant. My DH wants her to be at the funeral. She’s been through a lot already this year, and I’m not sure she can handle the intense experience of being at a place where there are people in mourning all around her. Do you think it’s a good idea that she goes? Or maybe she can travel with us and I can take her to do something else while my DH is at the funeral? I don’t think it’s necessary for a 7 year old to have to learn about death so soon but my DH thinks I’m sheltering her.[/quote]
