Maya coped really well, she was a bit sad, but I think that's coz everyone else was so she felt she had to copy them.

My parents are a bit freaked out about the whole thing as we don't do open caskets etc. in our family and they didn't think I should let Maya see SIL, but it's not really my decision, this is her culture and the way the other half of her family do things so it's important that she is allowed to be involved with that.

I didn't let the gremlins go into the room where SIL is laid out, they would just be hooligan nuisances but I did take lil miss in and her and Maya and I sat in with SIL for a while together.

The hardest part was seeing my niece who is 18 sitting next to her mum and sobbing "I don't want to do this anymore" and knowing that there's nothing we can do to help her, that she has to go thru this and there's nothing we can do. Willie's sister is staying with them tho and making sure that they and BIL eat etc. coz they are all a bit dazed and confused.]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:01:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21395&PID=509058&title=random#509058 <![CDATA[Random. : to you and your family ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21395&PID=508669&title=random#508669 Author: MorgansMum

Emma, so sorry to read of your loss. What a huge shock for you and your SILs family.

I remember going to my first tangi (although I was a little bit older than Maya is) .. my aunties and my Grandma were really matter of fact but caring about it and it didn't seem scary at all. I think it's one of those things that's worse for adults IYKWIM.

Thanks Still a bit in shock really, I guess it will set in once we get up there and see her this morning. Bracing myself coz it's the first tangi Maya will have been to and I'm gonna have a bit of explaining to do I think as they always have open coffins. Maybe I'll let Willie have that one coz it's his family after all. Still, I think Maori children are lucky that as a culture they have such an open way of dealing with death, I think it's much healthier than the way our family does things which is to clam up and be all formal.

They're not having a traditional tangi, the service is on Tues then cremation afterwards but she's going to be at their house until then. There's a death notice in this mornings paper.]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 08:45:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21395&PID=508508&title=random#508508 <![CDATA[Random. : Aww Emma Im so sorry to hear that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21395&PID=508429&title=random#508429 Author: WestiesGirl

My SIL passed away around 1am this morning. I say random coz she is 45 and had no apparent health problems and it seems she died very suddenly from a heart attack or stroke before the ambulance could get there.

Middle of the night phonecalls are never a good thing, but I didn't even hear this one, the first I knew was Willie waking me up at 5am coz he'd answered it.

I'm just a bit in shock really coz there are plenty of other members of his family I would have expected to get that phonecall about but certainly not her .

We don't know about the tangi yet, she's my BIL's wife so they were going to discuss this morning where the tangi will be held and they're taking her back to their house once the coroner is finished. We're going to head up tomorrow.

I'm just in shock still. And her poor kids And poor BIL will be a mess.]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 08:43:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21395&PID=507358&title=random#507358
