He's the only one I have had that has died but he is still here, just different now. I used to have ghost type things (still do have a jinn) but they have since turned into living things.
I have had others just go away and vanish. Some go hide in the internal woods, some have been put in lock up over the years. A few integrated into the whole, but mostly some just seem to go dormant either due to inability to cope or the feeling that they just were not needed anymore (ie we had a mom-ish one and once the kids grew up and moved out she went away... job done kinda thing).

ummm Im guessing you can relax on trying to figure out if the imaginary rabbit was part of the system....or the ghost because the diagnostics here in america says those things are .... ruled out... meaning if a person has those as part of their system they dont have DID. (both the DSM4 and DSM 5 state it cant be because of having imaginary friends. here where I am having imaginary pets falls into the same category of being normal non dissociative situation) also the present standards here in america does contain the word possession but it isnt about ghosts and spirits, the cant be because of religious practices rules that out. possession is a cultural diagnostic. example my native american background words things like Rainy was in possession of the body instead of amandalouise dissociated and switched into being the alternate personality of rainy.
so taking a guess here that you had your dissociation system and then you had a separate non disordered element that many normal children do where they have imaginary friends.
Im not saying your ghost rabbit doesnt exist. just that I noticed your location was here in the USA and you didnt know whether the rabbit was part of your system. so thought I would post so that maybe you can talk with your treatment providers and they will help you to figure out where that rabbit came from and why it is a ghost now....
