[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but if they don't want to go, don't force them. I was made to go to my grandmother's wake and I had to kneel and say a prayer over her body. I was so distressed by that that I refused to go to her funeral. If they've never been, explain what will happen and give them a chance to pass on it.[/quote] Something similar happened to me at age 9 with attending a great aunt's funeral. I had my first panic attack after kneeling to pray next to the body, had to go outside hyperventilating, etc. Was just too much for me to deal with at that age. Granted - I was an anxious child so my parents probably should have known that it wouldn't go well. I think I would have done fine at a funeral assuming its closed casket. I would definitely ask/prepare your kids about attending. [/quote]
