Definitely encourage your kids to go regardless of whether or not ow goes.

It takes courage and bravery to do something like that. Not going would be easy.

Also i personally don't think you need an invitation to attend a wake. I think you should consider stopping by to say your own good bye. I think making a brief and loving and non drama appearance is okay.

Show your kids how to be graceful in the wake of this messiness
