My 5-Year-Old Asked When Our Dog Is Coming Back — Here's What I Say Now
If you've ever reached for the phone to call someone who's gone — this one's for you.
Beth Lynch has spent 28 years helping grieving families. I asked her the question I can't answer myself: what do I tell my 5-year-old when she asks when our dog is coming back?
Then mid-recording, she described my dog. Down to how he sits.
I wasn't ready for that.
