I am a big believer in the spray version of Feliway.
I don't particularly like the plug in version. That, coupled with catnip
(fresh or organic dried) might help. Have you tried sitting down with your
little ones and explaining exactly what happened to Simon. They may not
understand. It is difficult to put such into words, particularly when you
may be telling them of their own futures, but they really need to know what
happened, why it happened, that it may happen with them but that you will be
there and listen to them and let them guide you in your decision making process
and, most importantly, that you will always be there for them and the Simon is
there for them if they will just be open and let his heart talk to their
hearts. They may be feeling lost because they have no information.
It is extremely painful to explain this so have a box of tissues close but don't
be afraid to let them see tears. I found out three years after Allie died
that Mai Mai didn't really understand.....and I brought Mai Mai with me when I
buried Allie, let her see and be with Allie's body for a while.....I thought I
did everything right but obviously I left something out. You might try the
Bach remedies--willow for grief comes to mind--in their water bowl. Maybe
a combination of all of this and what others suggest will
help. They are very confused.
