My Pet, Death & I

For children pets are true family members and when they die it raises a lot of questions. In this documentary series we get to follow children in the grieving process when their beloved pet passes away. Today children rarely meet death in their everyday life. And when that happens it often comes as a great shock, since they are not prepared for it. We get to describe the thoughts, feelings and beliefs children have about death. 12-year-old host Emelie Svensson talks to the children about their thoughts and emotions and helps them arrange a funeral for their pets. Each programme has a theme and the first episode asks the question: What is death? We meet Stella whose cat Oscar has become so old that his body cannot cope anymore. Stella’s family finally takes the difficult decision to let a veterinary put Oscar to sleep.
