today has been a sad day, my cat Felix passed away. I am extremely upset and feeling guilty as I hadn't noticed he was missing straight away. He had been dead for several days right under our noses. My wonderful husband helped me to bury him which was quite emotional for both of us. He was quite upset but is also very proud and a little embarrassed I think and wouldn't let me grieve with him which I found a bit hard to bear.........I really needed his support as well. I'm not blaming him though, we all deal with things differently....I just wish he could have given me a hug.
Now, my dillemma is what do I tell my 3yo? Do we tell her the truth that he died or do we tell her he went to live with the angels in heaven? Do we tell her where he has been buried? I don't know what to do, I don't want to scare her but I don't want to lie to her either. She hasn't asked for him so maybe I won't mention it until she does.
If anyone reads this that can offer any advice as to how to handle this it would be greatly appreciated.
