It's simple, yet effective.<br /><br />A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a <br />awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super quick for <br />me on Safari.

They went to see her in hospital when we knew it was terminal but she was 'well' and was able to converse with them as normal. They did not visit when she was in a coma the final week of her life. I explained she was very ill to them and she was dying. It was a hard conversation but I told them honestly what was happening all along. They had experienced a pet dying a few weeks earlier unexpectedly and we had chatted about people/animals dying. I really think the fact an animal had died helped them. They both came to the funeral and although upset behaved impeccably. We still talk about Granny now six year on and that has helped with their grief. <br /><br />My Mother was only 62 when she died from a number of strokes that caused kidney failure and had been in hospital for 2 1/2 months and my MIL is now 84 and they accept that she won't live forever and has had a 'good innings'.<br /><br />Try to be honest with them and if a person close to them is ill, explain to them what is happening. They are more resilient than you thinkCandacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687836284148417951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-107244763538660712013-04-24T17:59:58.551+01:002013-04-24T17:59:58.551+01:00We certainly do.

I know its not the same as a person passing away, but to my children (and us) he was a very special dog, and we wanted to deal with it in the 'right' way - they seemed to accept it well although they were obviously upset. Hope your experience of breaking bad news is not too awful :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450120736111109937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-74080389022721545852013-04-24T09:55:52.317+01:002013-04-24T09:55:52.317+01:00I think that is a lovely way to explain it.

In a way it is the same thing because we as humans form strong bonds with our pets don't we!! xBrewtiful Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829009107898468171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-21142319744077020132013-04-24T09:50:05.689+01:002013-04-24T09:50:05.689+01:00Not quite the same thin, but remember having to ex...Not quite the same thin, but remember having to explain to my children that my parents dog had passed away - they love that dog so much. It was tough, but we talked about how he had gone up to live in the stars, and he was looking down on them. They accepted that, and even now still sometimes say 'Is that star Barney watching us?'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450120736111109937noreply@blogger.com
