You are not responsible for Rocco's reactions, they are simply reality. By allowing him to see the body, you let him see that she's dead, instead of wandering the house wondering where she went. I did not have the dogs in the room when we actually put Froli down, but brought them in afterwards, one at a time.

I think it offers closure......kinda like having a funeral....time to say good-bye, vs. the wife who lost her husband to the seas and never had a body to bury.
