My DD is 4(almost 5) and my DS will be 7 at the end of this month. My DH and I are trying to decide whether they should attend their grandad's funeral. They were very close to him and part of me thinks they should have the chance to say goodbye like the rest of us, but the other part tells me they are too young to understand what is going on and we should spare them the upset.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone else who has been in this situation.
