...........so sorry about your kitty, gosh you must all be feeling so sad ..........and yes you're right littles don't understand the concept of forever. I have worked alot with childrens grief in RL and one of the most important things, is allowing the grieving process to take place, to let kids explore it all, to go through the process of saying goodbye via artwork, or speaking at a special gathering to celebrate the life lost etc or whatever it takes.... Most important thing for me, is to ask the littles, 'what do you think has happened', and follow that, then you can work at their level.
Thinking of you
