My lovely nan died and I'm completly heart broken. The funeral is today and up until now all the children were coming. But DD who is 7 has declared that she doesn't want to go. Now I don't want to force. But I think funerals are helpful in acceptance and making things real.
Do you think I should encorage her to go. They were close or is 7 just too young for it to be problem? So far i dont think she's really understood.
To complicate matters we are on holiday so will have to take a break. I'm not sure if it's more that she doesn't want to miss the holiday. Rather than doesn't want to go to the funeral?
