I am sh opping today for a dress for my 6 year old to wear to her father's funeral.
What is appropriate? Do kids have to wear black/dark colors?
The only other funeral she's been to was my grandpa and that was 4 years ago.
The other dilimma is if only dark colors are appropriate - where do you find them in the spring?
I hate this............ I just want to crawl back into bed and hide under the covers.
My first thought is that you could ask your daughter if there's something in particular that she would like to wear. Maybe she has an outfit that she thinks her daddy would have liked. Or one of his favorite colors. Of course you should have the final say, but I think asking her opinion might be a good idea.
Nyt, I can't be alone right now. I recognize that, and I have to listen to it. Alone with myself, and my inner voices, wouldn't be healthy for me now.
I need to focus on something as trivial as her dress - it's trivial and probably meaningless, but I can't let myself feel right now. I just can't.
MissMimi, that's a good idea.
Secret, thank you for the idea
I am reading and feeling your emotions. My only suggestion would be something comfortable, as others have said--and suitable to the weather. Maybe let her carry her little blankie if she has one, or a small stuffed toy?
