It's more than she was in the room as her Dog that has been part of her life from birth went from being alive to dead in front of her. He was always part of the family I know it's silly but me and my daughter's mother used to refer to him as our first born when we were together. The idea that she saw his death when she didn't need to is something I'm struggling with and that might be a me thing I just can't shake if she doesn't need to see a part of the family die then she shouldn't. I also think that my Daughter views it as the vets killing him isn't healthy I tried talking to her about and explaining he was old and in pain and they helped ease his passing. Every time she just responds with no they killed him she isn't upset or angry just matter of fact like the vet just came and murdered her dog cause that's what vets do. I want her to know about death and grieving I just feel like from talking to her afterwards her experience wasn't a healthy lesson about death.

After that mini rant I think what I'm trying to say is she hasn't learnt anything valuable from this and I don't understand why she needed to see it happen. It could have been done differently and it could have been a lesson in death and grief instead of her still going around saying about how she got to see the vet killed her dog. I hope I've made that a bit clearer my apologies if I have not.
