Favorite pet died

Yesterday my favorite pet bird passed away. I got her when she was a baby and had her for 6 years. She got me through a lot and I would talk to her and I felt like she understood. She was my first ever pet. Last night I couldn’t sleep at all and I just had this feeling of emptiness. The worst part was I watched her die. We don’t know what exactly made her pass away but she kinda just dropped dead all of a sudden. My mind keeps replaying her death and everything reminds me of her. 😔

Aww my deepest condolences. :( even though a bird cannot speak I know this bird was very lucky to have such a caring and loving owner. Thank you and realize that you gave this bird an amazing life because of all the love you have him. Allow yourself to grieve I can see how this affected you. :)

I'm sorry for your loss. We love our pets unconditionally. When the rest of the world is a struggle it's so good to have a pet to love.

You will grieve the loss and it will take time. Allow yourself all the time you need to grieve.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you! 😞

oh no! this is so sad. I'm sorry for your loss. Last summer my elderly dog had a stroke and i chose to end his suffering. Holding his paw and watching him die is a vivid memory that will always be with me.

Thanks. Yeah I have thought about getting another one but I think In the future. I don’t wanna feel like I’m replacing her if I get another one to soon.

hey I would never see it as a replacement my feelings are it prevents us from feeling down to long and a new pet always seems to lift the mood.
