Let’s talk about traumatic loss and grief.

A week ago we traumatically lost our kitten because our dog attacked him. My four year old witnessed everything happened.

I have never been in such a traumatic state before and this is all new to me.

I keep thinking our little binxy boy is going to pop up out from behind the couch, or under the bed and play. Or sit under my feet while I cook. I have never grieved so much for a pet, but let’s be honest, this was my cat. He was the first cat that I went out and found and named. He was mine.

We only had him for two and a half months and it was the best two and a half months. He gave us all the loves and I cherished every moment with him.

If you’ve experienced something traumatic, how did you get through it? What brought you peace?
