Recently I've been getting really scared and upset about the thought of having to say goodbye to my loved ones. I've never lost a pet/person before so I don't know how I'll cope. I've been crying in the evenings so I don't get the sleep I need.
I don't want to talk to my mum about it because she just makes me break down into tears in that very lovely way mums do.
I'm scared that the gerbils could have as little as a year or two left, they are my first pets and I don't think I'll ever be able to love something as much as I love them. Even just the thought of their death makes me cry for hours - how on Earth am I going to cope when they truly leave me?
And how can I say my last goodnight to Frodo or Sam? (guinea pigs)
I've read through the bereavement guide on this forum a few times, it is really helpful but doesn't ease the pain.
I'd love to know how other people have gotten past this stage into the happy stage where you just accept the inevitable and do not feel like crying yourself to sleep each night and do you have any tips on feeling less sad?
It's especially hard during covid-19 because I can't just hug one of my friends - I haven't seen most of them in 7 months. I feel alone in my thoughts.
I feel silly posting this here with strangers but I'm really hoping someone can help me out a little bit.
Thanks x
