🌟 Grief in Children vs Adults 🌟
When a beloved pet passes away, grief touches the whole family—but children may express it in very different ways.
💔 Adults often grieve with words, reflection or quiet sorrow.
💔 Children, however, might show their feelings through play, changes in behaviour or by asking the same questions repeatedly as they try to process the loss.
It’s important to include children in remembrance rituals—whether that’s drawing a picture, lighting a candle, sharing a favourite memory or helping choose a special keepsake. These acts not only honour your pet’s life, but also give children a safe way to express their emotions.
✨ Grieving together helps every family member, no matter their age, find comfort and healing.
What’s one way your family has remembered a pet together? 🐾💞
