[quote=Anonymous]I work for hospice, so take this with a grain of salt because my experience is in the area of bereavement in the case of human family members, not pets. But from a 'best practices' standpoint in dealing with bereavement in children, telling them ahead of the death is far preferable, and then providing support and options. The pp who called the camp, had the director bring the child to the office, etc., handled it in the way that reflects current best practices with children and grief. Of course, real life means that not everything goes that way, nor should it necessarily in all circumstances. But if you were to present this situation to a pediatric grief counselor as a case study, this would likely be the suggested course of action. Hugs. Such a hard time. [/quote]
