    This would be a Sigur Ros piece. They are always so amazing to dance to. I did my senior piece with my best friend to one of his pieces.

    I think videotaping it is alright, though. It’s fascinating, she’s perfect, and it doesn’t harm the child.

    The crying at the toilet bowl was priceless.

    @giorgosntoulos2 That doesn’t mean that i felt nothing for this girl going through the pain of losing her goldfish. You have no right to call me cold hearted you have no idea who i am or how i feel about things. So seriously shut up i wasn’t being rude or displacing this little girls feelings and emotion as entertainment. It was a good video and that is that so chill seriously.

    @giorgosntoulos2 Give me a fucking break, grief is a factor of life it happens to everybody. Saying that this is a good video about the stages of grief does not make me coldhearted. It is not like this mother killed the goldfish intentionally just to put her daughter through this heartbreak. It IS in fact a good video about the stages of grief. So good in fact that after watching this i was brought to tears.

    @aimeeblake099 well commenting on a video that videotapes a child sorrow and uploading it without the child knowing what the hell is happening by saying that was a very good video tells me all i need to know and it gives me the right to call you and all other people that are “educated” or entairtened by such videos coldhearted

    So , dead is a normal stage in human’s life, we all the parents should teach our children see it as which is, that’s reality, is part of our lives, no matter what. =) what we have to do is just to be close to those who need us with love to pass across this road

    interesting to see that the ones supporting the video seem to be human services professionals or have education on the grief process. The video was wonderfully done, the mother was very supportive by guiding her child through the process instead of covering it up or pushing her, and at the end of the day the child learned a hard life lesson in a safe setting.

    you are exagerating the situation, just see it as learning and knowledge in your life. That’s it.

    Oh no! – unbelievable – did you think this was good viewing? if so, I you need to examine what’s going on here for the child, not you. – sad!

    There are 5 commonly experienced portions of the grieving process, which are often called the “5 stages of grief.”
