[quote=Anonymous]Listen and validate but it’s not about the objects. So she’s right when she says “it’s not the same” and validate that. It’s okay to grieve the stages of your life when they pass. When I got engaged, I was really happy. But also very sad about the end of my single adult life and living alone in my girl apartment that I adored. Same with college graduation. Happy, but also sad. I think it’s perfectly okay to grieve. She’s misdirecting it onto the toys, so try to help her articulate the real loss, which is childhood. Maybe it would help to do some volunteering at a family shelter. [/quote]
