When a Child Loses a Pet: How to Support Grief That Adults Often Overlook
When a child loses a pet, adults often underestimate the depth of the grief. But for many children, this is their first experience of loss — and it can shape how they understand love, attachment, and death. In Singapore, where pets often become emotional anchors in busy or expatriate families, this loss can feel even more significant than adults realize. Psychologist & Supervised Counsellor, Ewelina Sawicka, explains why.
Talking to Your Children about Death
Death is a difficult topic even for us as an adult. This is even more challenging for children. As parents, we want to be able to help them cope with a death. Be it that of a loved ones (grandparents, parents, siblings) or that of their pets. However, often we are at a loss as to how to talk our children about death. There is no right or wrong, a lot of it is dependent on the specific context of your family, your values, and the unique personality of your child.
