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
Lucy
She just needs to grieve, allow her to do it in her own way and as Uhane said, ask her if she'd like some company. She will probably start asking questions about death and the afterlife, that you won't know how to answer, but discuss it with her, admit that you dont' know, maybe share different cultural beliefs about death and the afterlife and just listen and share.
Every creature deserves to be mourned, to grieve is to show that you've loved.
