I need to explain to DS2 why we are going to grandma's on Wednesday for granddad's funeral on Thursday. He is at the "why" stage and has asked what die means (in relation to a dog) which ended in a bit of a mess (my fault) and him thinking its some kind of hide and seek game.
I know he won't grasp what's going on and DS1 and DS2 will be excused the crematorium part of the day ("why are the curtains closing mummy ?") But any suggestions on how to get the concept over - more for my MIL's benefit (although she'll understand) as currently he thinks we're going to visit grandma and granddad this week.
I realise I'm worrying about things I can't control. But I know that the collective wisdom of mn is a wonderful thing.
Thanks
