Temper,

I'm so sorry about Stu. Anyone who has loved a pet knows just how your heart is breaking right now. I cried when I read you last post at how painful that must have been. I'm not going to make any trite platitudes, but one day when the time is right you may find another pet who won't be Stu or replace him but will be a special friend in their own way. I believe that Stu himself will let you know when you're ready.

Take care.

I read your last blog on tumblr originally, and it brought me to tears. Not just because I know what kind of pain losing an animal is, not just because I love birds despite never having the privilege of having one, but because Stu was in every part of your life, and I could feel that. I could feel through all your blogs well beforehand that he was so completely a part of your life that losing him is beyond any words.

The first thing I said on any of your blogs was how much I love birds, but they hate me. You told me they probably dont hate, they just dont show their love they same way as others. Like the things you get from them are just from their presence.

I get that now.

I hope Stu stays warm<3

That, to me, was the and remains the hardest part of losing my cat. That my "self" hasn't adjusted to her loss, so that I keep tearing open the wound by checking her water, her food, or her litter box, even though I put all those things away to try and keep myself from doing just that. For me, the only answer was to get a kitten who could need all that stuff, and fill the house with her sounds and self, while leaving me free to miss Herself.

Owie owie owie....

sorry for your loss
hugs

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost one of my rats a week ago and it's incredible the impact such a small creature can have on your life. It's hard to break the habits you build checking on them, making sure everything is ok, not just because breaking habits is hard but I think because breaking the habits you build around a lost animal feels a little like a betrayal. At least that is how I feel about it.

Stu was a gorgeous little bird and I'm glad you're the one who found him, because I don't think anyone else could have cared so deeply for such a tiny soul.

Trauer ist eben Teil des ganzen Prozesses damit klar zu kommen, dass jemand nicht mehr da ist. Vogel, Hund oder Mensch. Und es zeugt einfach nur davon, was für ein feinfühliger Mensch du bist, der sich um jede Kreatur kümmert und kümmern will.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you much love.
