Jumbo Wie Tiere trauern

Saying goodbye, mourning, remembering: Elephants retreat to die, while their relatives keep vigil. Chimpanzees carry their companions to their final resting place and refrain from visiting the places of death for a while afterward. Cats go through various stages of grief, moving from shock over the loss to acceptance of the new situation. Each animal species has its own ways of coping with death and grief, which is increasingly being studied in science. Just like with humans, there is not one way to deal with grief, but many variations. This book shows children that grief and death have a place in life and aims to help them understand and talk about these difficult topics.
