My DD is a very strong empath and we are going to have to put a dog that she has known all of her life down. She appears to understand that we are doing this out of love for our dear, dear dog.
I am going to hurt badly myself and hence my question:-
Will it be better for her in the long run if I hide my grief (because she is a strong empath) or is it healthier for a child to see her father broken to pieces over something like this?
The dog's last visit to the vet is scheduled for Saturday morning so I want to be prepared so that I can brace myself to mask the hurt if necessary.
