  Bird Blues

  Pets, Children

  Dear Maddy,

  My seven year old daughter's yellow parakeet named Pocket died. My daughter is distraught. What can I do to help heal her grief?

  Signed, Bird Blues

   

  Dear Bird Blues,

  Create an end of life celebration ritual for Pocket. Discuss the details of the ceremony and burial with your daughter. Whether it's a private ceremony or one for the family, be sure to include your daughter in all the conversations. Brainstorm together on what the two of you can do to celebrate Pocket's life. Perhaps you can play some recordings of parakeets or invite family members to share their memories and stories about Pocket. You could help your daughter write a eulogy or poem in memory of Pocket, or take a trip to the place where she first met Pocket. Talk about the joy that Pocket brought to your daughter and take the time to honor those gifts.

  Yours, Maddy Banks
