Child: "My dear pet rabbit is dead!"
Parent1: "I am very sorry, it was a good rabbit"
It's ok to feel Sad.
Parent2: "You should have taken better care of the rabbit!"
Don't feel sad, feel Guilty.
Parent3: "It's contagious! Let's get the doctor to visit you!"
Don't feel sad, feel Afraid.
Parent4: "Ooooh, it went to heaven, how lucky! We'll buy you a better one!"
Don't feel sad, feel Happy.
Parent5: "The pet store is a fraud! They said it was perfectly healthy!"
Don't feel sad, feel Angry.
Parent6: "Come on, it's only a rabbit"
Don't feel anything at all.
