My child's tears of pain

[devil29bich]

Today was a day I will never forget. Today was the day my 11 yr. old daughter learned about death. September 29 2013 @ 1 pm my baby girl lost her beloved hamster. "Nino". Nino died in my hands while my daughter was screaming in the back ground for her baby. How do I mend my child's heart? I myself can't stop my tears right now. I lost a part of myself with my daughters hamster and my heart screamed in pain when I saw my child's eyes and hearing her scream Nino's name. I never lied to my daughter I told her that hamsters had a very short life span from the beginning when we got her, but no one is every ready for when that time comes. Nino lived a very happy life for 4 yrs my daughter loved a took care of Nino. Right now I'm watching my daughter lay in bed in my room crying herself to sleep. Everybody talks about the birds and the bees on how or when do you explain that to a child. They say its a hard topic to talk to a child about, well try explaining death to them. Try explaining why the beloved most precious thing has died. If anyone can tell me how to mend my child's heart please tell me!

We love you Nino and we will never forget you! EVER!
