I can't explain how much I hate writing such devastating news especially the loss of a beloved pet.
My daughter, Chloe, went out for dinner with her dad's family today and found out that her father's horse, Josie, passed away. He took Chloe to the stables so she could physically see this and to explain she is buried at the bottom of the field. This is the second horse that has passed away.
She is absolutely devastated. I have offered if she wants to take but she shook her head and went to her room. I think she is in bed watching Netflix and probably will do this until she goes to sleep.
How else can I help her with the death of her pet. She absolutely adores the horses.
Thanks in advance
