Hello! I’m new to this whole thing and I think I put this in the wrong section, but I just recently lost my guinea pig, Diego. This just hurts so bad and I’m remembering all the cute and funny things he did. I’m crying 24/7 and I don’t know how to deal with this. We have been through so much together and he was only 3yrs old. Any ideas on how to start feeling better? He just got over a eye infection and he was almost through with all his antibiotics given by the vet. The doctor said he was healthy and sent us in our way. I didn’t see his death coming but it hit me like a truck. I’m just such a wreck right now and I need to vent.

Talking out grief is good - it’s part of the healing process.
Please do feel free to carry on posting here - we understand the pain that losing a piggy brings.
I know it doesn’t feel like it now but the worst of the grief will pass but it takes time.
Grief is a process and cannot be hurried.
The pain is part of the love we have for our piggies.
There is a bereavement thread on the forum which has some excellent information and guidance to help people through the grief process.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Sorry it is in such sad circumstances. Unfortunately sometimes things can happen very suddenly with piggies and they are gone too quick, even if they haven't shown signs of illness previously. All we can do is know that we showed them the love and care they needed from the time they came to us until their last breath. If you are really struggling with the loss of your pet there is a support line that can offer further support too Pet Bereavement

Hi and welcome. I am sorry to hear about Diego. There is no right way of going through the grieving process. For me it always helps remembering all the special moments that I shared with my pets and knowing they had happy lifes. You have done the best you could to give the best life possible. Remember that and time will help heal the pain you are feeling now. And congratulations for having the courage to speak about your feelings. Sharing also helps to relief the weight you might feel. Hang on there.
