My rabbit died last night and I am struggling

Sorry I know it's not the same as losing a human but I can't stop crying. I thought I could join this page as I'm finding it difficult. I have been nursing her since last year and it's hard to just see her go. So quick.

She's here until the vet opens tomorrow. I had to have her pts with an emergency vet as she was dying and gasping for breath. She turned so quickly. I've had so much hope. I thought it was just one of her down days since she's been I'll for so long with various issues, but then it quickly got really serious.

Think this might be better in the pet section. Sorry to hear about your rabbit but this section is pretty much for humans I think.

Go away.

I know it's not the same but it hurts to lose my baby. She was my baby. I have never posted on here

Reeling - I think it is awful that you have said that. I have lost loved ones before to you know but I'm still feeling grief. Who are you to judge?

Anyway I will go to the pet section.

Good.

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 21/04/2013 19:20

I was going to come onto here and gently point you to the section for pets, but I will tell you that, although I am sorry that your rabbit died, to come onto the bereavement board where people have actually lost their babies and say what you just have is distasteful at best. please ask MNHQ to remove and post in to appropriate section, and hope and pray that you haven't just offended anyone else who has lost a child by comparing it to the loss of a rabbit.

I have reported this and suggested it be moved.

Thoughtless, at best.

sydlexic · 21/04/2013 19:22

Sorry you are feeling such grief at the loss of your rabbit. I think you loved it so it is normal to feel the loss.

Posters here have lost their human loved ones and understandably are sensitive. I think it was probably not a good idea to post here though I am sure you meant no offence.

FuckThisShit · 21/04/2013 19:23

It's a fucking rabbit. Was a rabbit, sorry. DFO.

I'm not comparing at all to loss of a child, I would never do that. I just thought there was some support for grief. I didn't realise it was only for support for people. I was just looking for an outlet to talk about my feelings. Yes get them to remove it please.

FuckOffMrBloom · 21/04/2013 19:25

I was sympathetic until the baby comment.

To post that here, you've either got to be the most insensitive person in the world or someone out to cause pain. Which is it?

essexmumma · 21/04/2013 19:26

Just why?!!!

Thats what I called her. I haven't read anything on here. I didn't see any posts. Bye I'll move on now.

She is new and has posted in the wrong section. Give her a break and just suggest it needs moving. No need to go in for the kill Hmm .

No you cannot compare the loss of a pet with the loss of a baby but the OP was sad and saw "bereavement". She probably posted without realising that it only meant bereavement of people.

Please a little less aggression towards her.

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 21/04/2013 19:30

I was sympathetic until she started calling her rabbit her baby, on the bereavement board which is sadly full of people who have lost their babies.

She's not that new.

Cravingdairy · 21/04/2013 19:32

I think OP gets the message and piling on her is a waste of time which posters could spend on something constructive.

reelingintheyears · 21/04/2013 19:33

Well,if you consider at least July 2012 to be new.

JakeBullet · 21/04/2013 19:34

Tbh before I had DS, my cat was "my baby". After DS was born she was still special but not seen in the same way.

It doesn't compare in any way to the loss of a child ever.

The OP just needs moving to the pet section and away from here.
