Today, my son and I attended my mother's funeral. It was the first time he'd been to such an event, so to ease his grief and distract him, I turned on Max and Ruby when we got home. He quickly broke into tears; apparently, it was the episode where Max and Ruby prepare their grandma a special birthday gift. FML

It's okay. He may feel sad now, but it'll help him develop coping skills that he'll use for the rest of his life. That has got to be an incredibly difficult situation to be in as a parent. You're dealing with grief and trying to be a source of support for your son. I hope you two heal soon [:

# 2: It's not a sad cartoon; it's a cartoon with a grandma.

If your son still watches Max and Ruby, maybe he's a little too young for a funeral?

My 40 year old mom still watches it with my 10 year old sister because they think it's cute. OP didn't say how old her son was, but he was obviously old enough to understand the concept of death. Personally, if they understand what death is, I think they have the right to go to the funeral.

OP, I recently lost my Mom & my sister 10 months apart... it's astounding the little things that will evoke memories that will make you laugh and cry in the same breath. For you and your son, I can tell you it will get easier as time goes by, but it will always be there.... and that's OK... My heartfelt condolences for your loss... Hug each other alot and remember to tell each other how much you love one another every day. Peace.....

I'm sorry OP, I have empathy fr you, my grandma and great grandma died in aug 10'. I cried a lot, but it's better off getting it out then keeping it in. Sometimes you still think about them though, but that's natural. FYL and your sons life.

So sorry for your loss op, and hope you & your child remember the good times forever. #20, WTF?! She just lost her mom and the kid a grandma, have a freaking heart! #35, If my mom died, I would take my kid, no matter what age so he could possibly remember her.
