Oh Le Ann, this is just so horrible My heart is broken for your little girl. It is the worst for the kids. Hugs all around.

Oh, I am so very sorry. You have had a lot of loss recently...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter. Death is very hard on kids because they can not conceive of it fully. My son is also eight, and we are still mourning the recent loss of our dog, Kaela. Losing a pet is losing family. It's particularly difficult when you have no explanation. That is when I turn to my faith and believe that we all have a higher purpose and calling and that we all go on beyond this world.
