My cat, Gary, isn’t feeling well and has been in and out of the vet’s office this week. Of course, we fear the worst, but in our family, we have reason to assume the worst about each trial we face.
Although we are worriers by nature and genetics, we’ve also been dealt the “worst case scenario” so we know the possibilities of life.
We’ve tried all the tricks and some do work, but the fact is, we will always worry. It is debilitating, tiring, and it threatens our forward ever, but we do it together, and that helps.
It always amazes me how much the past affects the ways we perceive and deal with emotions and fear. There is no moving on. There just isn’t.
