Hi everyone. Sorry for such a depressing post I’m just after some non biased advice. My beloved Grandad passed away unexpectedly last week. He was a huge part of my life he helped to raise me and he absolutely idolised my 3 children. We have so many happy memories with him. Hos funeral is next week and my mum wants my 2 eldest to come. They’re 8 and 5 and my youngest is 2 she’ll be staying at home with her dad. I’ve said I don’t want my 2 eldest to come I just don’t think funerals are the right place for children plus they don’t fully understand anyway. My 8 year old who is absolutely devastated at losing his great Grandad understands a little bit but I don’t think he’ll fully understand what a funeral is and my 5 year old definitely won’t. My mum said its a chance for them to say goodbye properly and give them closure. I think they already have all their lovely memories of him and don’t think a funeral will benefit them. Plus at the risk of sounding selfish, they’re good children but like most brothers they argue and fight. I want to be able to greive for my Grandad properly on the day without worrying they will misbehave. I don’t want to upset my mum or anybody else and don’t want to regret anything afterwards. What are peoples opinions? Again sorry for a depressing post xx
