Oh, Karen I don't know. I have a heavy heart for you.

I do know that children that are allowed to experience funerals, and funeral homes deal with death better as adults.

I would tell them to be sweet to their friends as it is a tough time for them, but the boys may or may not be showing a lot of emotion. They have the kids there in their rooms playing which is fine.

I think it is best to not shelter kids from grieve and to grieve to a certain extent in front of them.

Your situation is different. You have done beautifully with parenting your two in the way they need to be parented. I know you will get through this too.

I'll be praying for you all,
