I don't have kids, but I remember that when I was 8 my great grandpa died, I wasn't close to him, but we visited him every christmas in the nursing home. I was taken to the viewing. I remember being at the veiwing and being fine it was all kinda over my head. I just stayed close to my mom and talked to the people that talked to me, but then my grandpa took me to see the body I couldn't handle that. I still too this day have a hard time going to viewing and actually going to see the body. If you think that emotionally this will be too much for her then I say trust your gut and don't let her go, but I think you should get with her and try to come up with an alternate way for her to support her friend so she doesn't feel like she let her down.
