As a child I always believed that if someone you loved died and you looked up at the stars, and you looked for the brightest one it would be the person you loved and they would always be looking after you. It gave me a sense of peace to think they were still around. I still find it reassuring to do this now.
I told my children the same thing when their grandfather died and it helped them, they only had to look and they could still see him.....unfortuately they now sit there pointing out the three gerbils, twenty something fish, their friends dogs, birds the cat has caught........!!!!!!!
