Talking about pet loss with kids can be hard.
You might hear the same questions more than once, see their emotions shift quickly, or notice reactions you didn’t expect. That’s normal.
If you have little ones working through the loss of a pet, these books can help start the conversation:
• The Invisible Leash — Patrice Karst
• Dog Heaven — Cynthia Rylant
• When a Pet Dies — Fred Rogers
• Mr. Midge and the Rainbow Bridge — Grief Professionals
Sometimes a simple story helps explain what feels hard to put into words 🐾💙
