How to cope with a child suffering bereavement?

I’m worried about my partner’s daughter, her mother had a child last year who sadly passed away after a month. Don’t get me wrong she’s not crying or showing any behavioural problems, she’s with us at weekends and she’s just a very sad little girl. Her mum talks very openly and adult in her company and although i know she’s still grieving i think it’s too much for a young child to cope with. She started to comment that she wished she was dead like her little sister, I think in a way it’s a jealously thing as she’s used to being an only child. Her mum became pregnant again about 2 months after the death and has said in front of her she’s hoping for another daughter to replace her precious lost one. I think it’s all a bit too much for her to cope with and i’ve tried reassuring her she’ll always be special to both her mum and her dad and me but I don’t know if it’s enough. There’s a shrine to her lost siblling in her house and now with the pregnancy I don’t want her to feel left out. Is there any coping techniques people have heard of which could help her with this?

Bereavement How do I know i am actually suffering or just stressed out?

Hi recently lost one of my parents after a short illness. I knew we didnt have long and I was at the bedside when my parent was dying. Obviously i was upset and i suppose i didnt really face up to the fact i would not see that person again. Its been some months now and i feel strange, I feel as though im going mad.. its a recent thing only within the last couple of weeks, but its getting worse…

Is this bereavement or just stress? My husband thinks i released alot of my bereavement when i found that this illness was a short process and therefore i did totally break down before the death but i think im starting to loose it big time.

what can i do? i find going to the cemetary very difficult how do others cope?

How Do Funeral Home Workers Deal With The Suffering And Sadness They See Day After Day?

I live near several funeral homes, and often see the workers outside, shoveling in their formal attire, or directing cars. My heart sinks whenever I drive by and there is a service. I have always tried to imagine what it must be like to be inside one of these people, but cannot. Does anyone have any insight?

Euthanasia

Euthanasia is a quick and painless way of ending the suffering of a beloved pet.

It is an emotional time for everyone involved, including the vet, but your veterinary surgeon will help you decide when the time is right. If you are considering letting go of your pet you can ask yourself a number of questions to help you reach your decision:

Is your pet suffering in pain, distress or discomfort? Is he/she having difficulty walking or finding it difficult to eat and drink enough without vomiting? Does he/she have tumours which are causing pain or discomfort which are inoperable or untreatable? Is he/she finding is difficult to breath? Is he/she incontinent or having difficulty urinating or defecating? Are you unable to cope physically and emotionally with any nursing or medication that may be required?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then euthanasia may be the best option for your pet, call you vet and talk it over with them.
