Just thought I would update in here..

My Grandmum passed away on Monday the 30th July

That day was also my son's 8th Birthday.. We didn't tell him till after breakfast as we wanted him to enjoy some part of his Birthday.. Of course when he was told his heart broke and he cried.. We came here to my mums ( My mum was my grandmums carer for the past 10 yrs) Grandmum died in her bed in her sleep between 4 and 6am.. Anyways We were all very upset as you would imagine but my children dealt with it wonderfully. It made things easier that Ethan was distratced by birthday presents ect

The following days were not so great and he would have many break downs. In the end we decided on a viewing and on Thursday we took My eldest son down to say goodbye. He handled it beautifully. He did break down when we got outside and my middle son Isaac who will be 4 in September worked out what we were doing and said "Is GG in that building?" We said yes and then he too got upset and wanted to say goodbye.. After much discussion with Isaac and the lady inside the building we took Isaac in to say goodbye. He walked up and said "goodbye GG I miss you I love you" and I have to say we made the best decision by letting our boys do that...

They are still sad but none of us feel that overwhelming sadness anymore. We said good bye!!

The Funeral is Tuesday. All 3 boys will come to the Church but my inlaws are looking after them when we go to the Cemetary. I do not think they will cope with the cemetary as I will be upset and DH or I do not want them to see me that upset...

Anyways thanks for all the suggestions ect.. I am going home on Wednesday...
