Pets and afterlife
Let me premise by stating my daughter is deathly afraid of just about any pet, except fish, which could be a full post in itself.
My mother came over last night and we were discussing the death of a family pet, my grandmother’s 16 year-old cat. When it came time to explain to my daughter what happens to pets, we simply told her that pets go to heaven when they die. Ten seconds after we told her this, we realized that this may have just caused our daughter to be afraid of heaven due to her fear of pets. We had a good laugh about it, but I wonder if this is something to be concerned with later?
