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 .
Bye Andrea


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.
By Stefano


I've lost a budgie . He died three years go but I'm still affectionate to him. My feelings are: - feeling like crying - loneliness - sadness - anger - sorrow

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.
