On YT yeah my daughter has seen it I showed her because I thought it was such a nice sentiment.
I am a very different kind of person in many aspects my parents have become reaclamated with the Catholic church my daughter attenda their church and is Catholic.
My son is recently expressed interest in attending a Baptist church so I have taken him there.
I let my children (within my own judgement of reasoning) choose which religion they want to be further exposed to. However I beleive for their overall betterment as members of society they should gain an understanding of multiple religions in the basics of beleif and social cultural impact.
I replaced my daughters first pet about 10 times a beta fish, oh the adventures of going to pet store after pet store to find that specific color marjed fish...until the morning sge found the last one floating...I explained death.
Since weather it ve person or pet I am completely honest with my children about medical issues and dying.
When my daughters dear friend was tragically lost in a car accident my daughter found solice in knowing her friend was Catholic and it was her time to go to heaven.
2 years ago when my grandpa was dying in the hospital he was frank with my children he was being called home and they had the option of attendjng his Baptist wake.
I keep it short and to the point this happened they died.
The after part we discuss openly. I myself have taken more a role in the Native American Church and part of that is the allowance for understanding differing beleif systems.
I was appauled my cousin (when our grandpa died) told his young daughter grandpa george is asleep now and you'll see him later. After the memorial and the Navy ceremony of his ashes spread over the ocean my cousins daughter was confused and vegan having fits vefore bed time...I thought gee no wonder...
We gave seceral lost pets burries in our yard, fish chichilla hamsters a cat...I think having the graves by the roses helped my son especially to understand the concept of death and that the body is left behind. My children took part in all yhe burials
