[quote=Anonymous]I would be asking my husband how he plans to handle it if she starts crying hysterically? Is he going to exit this event with her and hug/comfort her? Is he going to let her lay on the floor prostrate with grief in front of everyone? Are you taking two cars so you can exit more quickly with her? I’m all for kids at funerals. But it might not be right for this particular kid at this particular time. My 10 year old became unexpectedly hysterical with grief at my FIL’s funeral. She had been to prior funerals with no issues. It was huge distraction that my husband didn’t need. And I was happy to essentially “handle it.” But I actually still think it only made things more difficult for my husband. I really wish we had two cars — we were in a super rural area with no taxi or Uber. It was hard because my husband’s expectation was to be the last person there with his mom. It was a LONG TIME for a kid that was so very upset.[/quote]
