Tiny Humans, Big Feels
The loss of a pet is truly a devastating time for the entire family. Trying to explain grief and loss to a child while grieving yourself can also be challenging. We often find that books are a great tool to use when we cannot find what to say to a child. Remember to be gentle with yourself, and also with your children who may be having a hard time understanding how to cope. We’re here to help. Here are five books that we recommend to help navigate pet loss and grief for children.
