[quote=Anonymous]Different perspective here: my brother died 10 years ago, when my nephews were 4 years old and 4 months old. It was the worst tragedy of all of our lives. We work. eRY hard to stay in their lives despite a difficult and fraught relationship with their mother, who is unstable. We have a huge extended family and we all deeply love my brother’s boys and work hard to let them know they are important members of their dad’s family. Many, many times we have reassured them that they are Murphys or Shaunesseys or [insert our name here]. To them, it’s a stable, important connection. I would be devastated if my SIL changed their names if she remarried. It would be like another death. Disappearing my brother from their identities, literally. We would be gutted.[/quote]
