Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: southwest VA Posts: 2,649	How to help a 3yo mourn our dying cat? So our* cat is dying. She is 13+ years old, so basically her body is just shutting down. My older two are taking it in stride as they haven’t really been that close to her, but my 3.5yo is having a difficult time. She’s my sensitive (Type 2) one, and she has known this cat her whole life. Any advice on how to help her through this process? The cat was my sister’s, and when she passed in 2012 my parents “inherited” her. We’ve been living with my parents for about 3 years, since my youngest was 5 mos old, so she’s kind of our cat too. __________________ Christina* INTJ, T4 former high school teacher turned homeschool mom married 12 yrs to DH ENFP, T1 currently battling hemeralopia-induced blindness and chronic pain for the 3rd time mama to five: 10.5yo DS (my serious T4) 8yo DD (my sparkly T1) 3.5yo DD (my precious T2) one I will hold in heaven
