[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to open some communication here regardless of the result. You need to hear where she is coming from. If she wants her opionion to be respected she should be able to verbalize it a bit better. Hear here without passing judgement. My 13 yo would be very uncomfortable at a wake but would likely be open to staying in the reception area if that was offered to her. That said, you also have a right to say your piece. You can remind her of Granny's kindness to her and request that she honor her in some way (maybe a flower arrangement or decoration of some kind at the wake. I remember a friend and his cousins all leaving their favorite candybars lining a grandfather's casket as he always kept each's favorite on hand for their visits.) Remind her that this is a hard time for your DH and she can support him with her presence. Either way, I wouldn't push but I would want her to open up more about her feelings if she can.[/quote]
