Thoughts from KidLinkers in Italy
When my dog died, I cried, because I was affectionate to him. It's even
worse for a dead person . In my opinion crying for dead people is very
important to relief .

I was disliked when my chick died. My sister won it at the Muggi' s party.
When he died my parents were away and I was alone at home. My feelings
were anger sadness and regret.

Dear Daniela,
Hi, my name is Nicole and my hermit crab died because I stepped on him by
accident. We had a little funeral for him. I will always remember him. His
name was Kevin the hermit crab. I will always remember him.

I think it's ok to cry for the missing of a relative because you get a
certain relief. I remember when even my grandfather died. I cried a lot
because I loved him very much.
What I felt was anger and a great sadness because I didn't expect
death.

In my opinion if you lose someone you should do your best to forget
because life is going on.

Dear friends,
In my family I am the first child, after me there is my brother, Marco. I
think that the first son is luckier until a new brother or sister
arrived, because parents' attention is concentrated on the younger. In my
family I must wash the basement and my parents give me some money for
that.
In my family my parents share their responsibilities in the same way. I
think that the teenagers must have some responsibilities because they
help us to grow up. In my family there are some rules that I think right,
for example we have to take a shower every evening, once a week we must do
the housework, when we have meals we cannot watch TV, we must what we have
on the table without complaining.
Bye Luca
When a parent or animal die is very painful, because you think you will
never see him again especially if that person was dear to you. To forget
this horrible moment you shouldn't think about it for a certain period and
after it you can accept the fact as a sign of the destiny. For children
and adults too it is very useful to cry but also to remember all
the good things you had with that person, all the qualities that you can
also try to imitate in your life.
Bye Andrea
Dear friend
I had a dog. He was a sausage dog. He was called Arcibaldo. Arcibaldo, for
me, was a big friend. A day my dog felt bad and my dad brought him in
surgery. There he died. I suffered for a lot of time but the time cared
the cut and now I am well.
Bye bye Andrea Sioli
Hello friends
I had a cat. One day I had to give the cat to a neighbour, because I was
allergic. I suffered a lot, but sometimes I went to visit it.
Bye, bye Emanuele Laccetti
Dear friends,
I want to speak to you about the death of my grandfather. I was very fond
of him, because I spent a lot of time with him when I was a child. I
played with him, he always took me to the park, he bought me a lot of ice
creams and he helped me with my homework. When he died I was terribly
shocked and I didn't play video game, football, basketball and didn't
watch TV for a long time because I was too sad. After a while I thought it
was better to be active and to take part in games and sports to forget my
pain.

Hi friends,
I'm Manuela. 2 or 3 years ago, is dead a fish. It called Pallino. It was
afish of red colour but as measures it was not very great. He like very
much the food for fish, so once he has eaten too much and it is dead. I'm
sorry a lot it that Pallino there is not more because it was the only
animal that I could hold in the house and because I was very affectionate
him.

Friends,
I see several messages from you about the loss of a pet. This can be a
very sad time for you. I can still remember the many tears my daughter
cried when one of her kitties, who was going to have kittens, died of
cancer. It was terrible for all of us.
