Even more to the point, our kids need to realize that about us, their
parents.

Because of Grandma, my kids are aware and make it a point to go to the
nursing home, even though she doesn't remember them...and my grandkids go
too....there is no shielding from reality....we have residents whose
families actually do not bring children because they can't bear them to see
what has become of their grandparent...so the image of the sweet, kindly
person they once knew stays in their mind instead of facing the realities of
life...is on par with people who don't allow children to go to funerals
because they shouldn't see grief and suffering....
