The anxiety, depression and antipsychotic meds that I'm on have helped me not hyper-fixate on such things now. This wasn't always the case in my past and anticipatory grief was a big struggle for me. I used to suffer some pretty grim thought loops and threw myself into feeling grief WELL before anyone/pet/thing had even been 'lost'.
