[quote=Anonymous]My dad passed when our child was very young. We had lost a pet shortly before. I think I said something along the lines of they had died and we wouldn’t be able to see them again. I had started out saying they had gone to sleep forever but that I was concerned it would cause sleeping problems! I did read the red string and modified to take their religion out of it while reading aloud. We didn’t get into anything faith based at all. But I said that she could always talk to him when she needed to, and that he would always be alive in our hearts. that we could think about it whenever we wanted. And also that it was OK to be sad. If she had been a little bit bigger I would’ve asked her what she’d like to do for his memory. I think will do that now anyway. We also looked at a lot of all of us together. [/quote]
