There are a lot of ways to deal with the death of a loved one or pet. I would expect your children already know their beloved friend is not well. In the long run, only you know your children well enough to decide what is best...or right...for them within your family, social, and religious beliefs and structures. I am sorry about the trouble that has befallen you. My deepest sympathies as you embark on this tragic journey. {{{Hugs}}} |
