It will help her to understand the up's and down's of life though. There will surely be another little bird or animal for her to care for soon. Lots of hugs to all. Link to comment

Life's lessons can be so hard for any of us, most especially for kids, as they don't always have the comprehension, but you did an outstanding job explaining it all to her. I have that fantastic memory of how the women at the chemist were so shocked, when you pulled Fred out of your pocket to explain about the syringe, and how her little head was poking out of your pocket in the car. I am sure you both have lots of these kinds of memories, and no doubt these will help ease the sadness you are both now feeling. Hugs...Robyn Link to comment
