But with talking about grieving, how might kids and adults grieve differently from pet loss?

That's a great question.

And I think one informs the other.

So when we're looking at the age and stage of the kiddo, when they are experiencing a loss, they're going to turn to the adults around them, right? Like, how are they grieving? Are they crying? Can I cry? Is it okay to cry? How do we talk about this? So I think adults tend to, especially, I mean, if I'm looking at a family sitting around, right, or talking about a loss, I think adults tend to be a little bit more reserved and not wanting to express emotions, maybe, as they're describing the loss to their kiddo and the kiddo's going to pick up on that, right? But I think children might ask a lot of questions.

They might not understand really what happened or why.

I think for a lot of kids, depending on the age, it brings into their idea that there is this thing called death and maybe people who are close to me are going to die.

So I think there can be some, um, some worries there about what happens, like then worrying that their guardian will die.

How could that intersect with that? Yeah,
