A couple of days ago we suffered a tragic loss in our house. Bubbles, our girl's beta fish, died. After days of watching her, who is actually a him, slowly loose her spunk, I warned Caitlin it might die soon. I kept checking on "her" all day so Caitlin wouldn't find it.
As soon as I noticed Bubbles not moving along the bottom, I informed Caitlin her fish had died. At first she was in a little bit of shock and stated that she didn't think fish could die. The tears started and she asked "Do fish go to heaven?" We then fished Bubbles out to flush her down the toilet. Caitlin was still very distraught when she ask "When Jesus comes back alive will my fish come back alive too?"
Later on that day she wondered if Jesus would let us take care of Bubbles again.
Now hopefully we can keep Cocktail alive, I don't think Caitlin can handle another loss.
