Re: How to break bad news to a child?

When our beloved golden retriever died unexpectedly when our daughter was 3, we all had a very hard time with it. One thing that seemed to help was the book "Dog Heaven" by Cynthia Rylant. I have attached a link to the same type of book for cats (aptly named "Cat Heaven"). We ended up getting a rescue golden about 2 weeks later, and have had him ever since (almost 4 years now).
