I know it sounds bad, but I really don't want my child saying goodbye to her dead dog.
It does sound cruel. Why not?
I'm afraid of being blamed by her.
Letting her say goodbye is an important part of the grieving process. You shouldn't stop that from happening.
Unfortunately I have to control my child and I can't let her.
You can't safeguard her from the realities of life. You need to let her see the dog as well as say goodbye.
