My youngest has been fixated on death since we euthanized my elderly dog just after Thanksgiving. Whenever the subject of us not having a dog anymore is even indirectly touched upon, she immediately jumps to how sad she is since he died and we need another dog so she won't be sad. It's hard because I understand where she is coming from, wanting to fill the emptiness, but we can't get another dog at the moment. Logistically, it would make our life difficult. But also, I don't know if my heart can survive another loss like that.
I don't have children but I still got so much from this wisdom. <3
Same!
