I miss Po my baby bunny.

[Sarah_LOVES_PO_THE_RABBIT]

I miss my baby bunny Po (it's actually Snowy, Po is just a nickname which I prefer to her real name); she was only 21 months when she died. I was really close to her, and I miss her so much. Everyone is telling me to stop crying and move on, but it hurts so bad. She would get on top of my bed and study with me. She would become a cute little loaf ball whenever I petted her and would always flop down beside me. She loved eating her treats and would get excited whenever she got her treats. Whenever she wanted to get into my room, she would scratch the door and before getting into my room she would bite the wall once.  She would claim everything with her chin every morning and would growl just to tell someone to move. She would stand up straight on all fours and tilt her head slightly whenever she saw me. This one instant, we couldn't find her anywhere before we went to the terrace and saw her lying behind a few flowerpots. The Cheek! We were all worried while she was relaxing! But now I will never be able to feed her, pet her, hear her honk, growl or purr. I will never be able to pet her or see her scratch the door just to get in. I will never hear her soft footsteps ever again and never see her. And I won't even be able to see one last antic from her. And worst of all I will never be able to forget the deafening silence she left behind.  She died the day after my birthday on Wednesday on 2nd October. She was really sick the day before but had recovered at night. She was fine before my birthday though. She thankfully died in her sleep, but it just hurts so much. What should I do, I can't carry on with my life. I already have a pile of homework and work that I have to do and on top of that I cannot enjoy takeouts and the festivals that are occurring right now. I can't bear the deafening silence in my room and the house and keep having bouts of tears. I miss her so much. Some please give me advice and support on what to do.

I am so sorry for your loss.

The what ifs blame game happens to most of us going through early grief, it did me when my husband died nearly 19 years ago...it's not that we are guilty of anything but loving them, and the truth is feelings are not facts, but it's that we can't wrap our heads around what happened, and our mind is trying to find some different possible outcome so it searches all the what ifs...

Comfort for Grieving Animal Lover

I hope this short video brings you some comfort and peace.

What to do?  Grief is a journey, unique for each of us, and the only way I know is straight through it, pain and all.  To try and survive without them, it's the hardest thing, we shed tears.  We will be with them again someday...
