exH was the NRP and had alcohol issues which at times stopped him from seeing our DDs. In DD3s life she has probably spent more time not seeing him she has seeing him. He had started having them one day a week before they split up from school until he died just over a week ago.
She is aware that he has died and if he is mentioned will say "Daddy is dead" and has mentioned this on her on but not very often. She loved spending time with him and has always known who he was.
I had intended on letting the DDs make up their own mind about whether or not they attend the funeral but every time I mention it to a friend she says that she thinks she is too young but we all do things differently and it has put doubts in my mind.
I so want to do the best thing for them, him and his family but am starting to seriously doubt myself!
Thank you.

Should DD3 (3) go to her dad's (my exH) funeral or is she too young?
