[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 79609, member: 3388"] I don't think there is any right or wrong answer to this. When I was young, my parents shielded me from death. Now, I have a difficult time at wakes and funerals. I'm very uncomfortable at wakes. My best friend always brought her children to wakes and funerals from the time they were babies. Her children have a very healthy view of death. However, she doesn't have any difficult children. My husband didn't think that it was ok to bring very young children to wakes and funerals. Although I disagreed with him, I went along with his wishes, as all of the family members who died when my difficult children were young, were on his side. I think when making a decision, you definitely have to consider your children's issues. I think you have to do what you truly believe is best for your children and not try to keep the peace. in my humble opinion, there will always be someone who won't be happy with whatever decision you make. You need to do what is best for your family. Sorry about your husband's grandma. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers...WFEN [/QUOTE]
