How long will it hurt?

[ThatCurlyGirl]

My funny, sweet and beautiful best friend of ten years went to bunny heaven two weeks ago.

She's been my best little mate for a third of my life and I adored her. She was super loved and had a lovely little life as a house bunny.

Cheeky but so sweet she loved kisses and cuddles and playing but ruled the roost!

I still keep going to feed her in the morning then I remember, I say "ooh sorry curlybun" whenever I drop something near her favourite spot then I remember, I go to play with her when I have a break from work then I remember.

I dream about her too. It's hard to explain and I'm embarrassed to tell people in real life but to me she was as much of a presence in my life as the humans I love the most!

Loving her got me through some incredibly difficult times and loving her reminded me I am full of love to give.

I have bipolar and worry about my reactions being normal or not. Am I mental? Is this normal? How long will it last?

I currently feel like I never want a pet again because it hurts too much to have to let them go.

Picture attached so you can see her gorgeousness! 🐰 💗

Sorry here is a picture of her loveliness

I'm so sorry for your loss. I believe that the death of a much loved pet is the same as the death of a member of your family. Almost worse in fact, because the bond is so strong and constant with a pet, and their love is unconditional.

You are bereft, suffering grief, and your reactions are normal.

She was very gorgeous.

Thank you for your lovely reply @HarryDaylight it's nice to hear that other people feel this loss so deeply.

She really was just the best bun ever thanks for such nice words 🐰

I love my pets more than almost any other person in my life so it's absolutely natural to feel devastated at their loss, they are such a huge part of our lives. I recently lost my absolute fur baby through devastating illness and I was crushed. But we have recently got another friend and he brings us such joy and laughter. He isn't a replacement, just a new family member. But it has helped the huge hole in my heart x

She sounds absolutely wonderful I'm so sorry that she's not here anymore. It hurts so much. Pets add do much to our life.
Pets mean just as much as humans sometimes more. Pets are always there for us. I'm so sorry. I feel your pain.

She was beautiful.
