My FIL died suddenly on Thursday, he's been ill for some time, but it was still a shock to us all. Mil is ADAMANT she doesn't want any children at the funeral, i'm fine with that .. its her perogative , but how do i explain it to DS (age 5) .. we have told him his grandad is dead, he understands, but refuses to discuss it (other than i'm sad because... my shoulder hurts/my "flowers" have died i want them to live for ever etc etc..
We're not religious, so the up in the sky, gone to heaven idea is something i'm not really comfortable with, i tried a book (the mog one) but he won't look at it, sorry this is rambly, we saw them fil/mil at least twice a week .. he really ws such a huge part of all our lives, that it just seems to poor Dc's that theres no real goodbye
TIA
