DHs grandma has died and we are going to the funeral next week. My two daughters will stay with their grandparents (we have to travel a long way to the funeral). My question is - should we tell eldest DD who is 5.2 that we are going to a funeral? she has had phases of asking lots of questions about death and dying so would it be a good thing to tell her or shall we just tell her we have to go out for the day?
I am in two minds because I don't want to worry her iyswim but I also think it might be good for her to know what happens when a person dies......
