Sorry I wasn't getting at you, or anyone at all, it's just many replies seem to assume there will be viewing of his mum, and that's just generally not what usually happens here. It does, but it's more common not to. I've been to a fair few funerals and none of them have had an open coffin. I think that's done more in the US, probably other places too that I'm unaware of, but not so much in the UK.
People asking who will look after him now, I just find bizarre because although he has grandparents and uncles, we're his immediate family so in my eyes it just makes sense that he stay with us.
We've always tried to give him a bit more freedom, and his confidence has grown because of that. But given how sheltered his life with his mum was (which is where he spent the vast majority of his time), we wouldn't throw him in head first with crowds and stuff because it would likely set him back. He's more one for little steps in the right direction rather than being chucked in at the deep end, he just does better that way.
