My 16 year old healthy niece died suddenly of a cardiac arrest recently. Of course the family are devastated and are struggling with their emotions. We are all trying to support each other and get whatever help is out there. My niece was a lovely happy girl who loved playing with her 4 little cousins and they adored her. We have to face the funeral shortly and are struggling with whether it is appropriate for them to attend her funeral which we are planning to make as uplifting as we can with music, her friends involved etc. should the small children attend? They range from 8 to 3. They have been told she has died but are confused about it and a couple of them have been very clingy. I think if they say they want to go they should. What do others think?
