[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funerals help process the loss- it why we (and elephants) have them. They are helpful, so your daughter should go and step outside/away if needed. [/quote] I agree with this. I was 7 when my grandmother died and my parents didn't even give me a choice to go to the funeral. I wish that they had. Even 40 years later, I still don't think I've processed her death because there was never any closure. I never felt like I got to say goodbye to her (the grandkids didn't go to the hospital as she was dying either as it was all very sudden). I also feel like that is a major family moment and it seems unfair to not include her in it. I've heard stories about my grandmother's funeral from other people and I always felt left out from an event that I should have been a part of. We don't have a very big family so not having the grandkids there still seems weird to me. [/quote]
