Can You Be Fully Restored?

Can you be fully restored after you have experienced a trauma?Although it was my dog that was attacked by two dogs while I deflected their bites the best that I could, I was traumatized also. While the attack was happening, I used my life time of experience with dogs to control the situation and felt cool, calm and collected....then.

My dog's wounds have healed. Her psyche with other dogs seems fine. A mini-seizure that she had after the stitches were removed was troubling to me. She is under the care of a holistic vet.

The owners of the dogs have offered a partial payment of the vet bills for the immediate emergency care. They do not feel they should cover the expenses that I feel were necessary to make my dog as "whole" as possible. My feeling is that they can earn more money to replace what they have had to pay out but will my dog be able to "earn" her way back to the health that she enjoyed before the attacks?

I tried not to dwell on the emotional pain but found it revealing itself in my voice whenever I would answer someone's inquiry about my precious pet.

I have been led to do the Healing Code for forgiveness and to pass that healing to my dog. Perhaps to be fully restored, we must forgive those that have abused us. I have been able to let it go and get back to living in the moment. The peace that comes with forgiveness is healing.

How do you fully restore as life events challenge you?
