I'm Finding It Hard To Breathe!

[natw1181]

I lost Toffee, the last of my babies on Sunday. I'll always kick myself for not noticing sooner and thinking it was something else. It hurts so much knowing she was fighting so much the day before, but by the time I realized, it was something else, she was too weak and been through so much in her 5+ years and was in a lot of pain most days with arthritis, I couldn't put her through a course of antibiotics and a possible long stay at the vets, as she wouldn't eat when I wasn't there. I hope I did right. Miss her more than words, so quite and lonely without my babies, everything reminds me of them. I can't stopping crying, they can never be replaced. Just wish it didn't hurt so much too breathe. My every thought was always for them. Rest in peace my beautiful baby girls - caramel, fudge, honey, toffee and sugar.

I’m so sorry for your loss, as @Tim says if you’re struggling to breathe sit down and take deep breaths.I was the same when I lost mummy pig, I think it was the shock of it all but I couldn’t hardly breathe.

Big hugs xx

So sorry for your loss. It's very sad when a beloved pet passes over to the Rainbow Bridge. Blaming yourself and wishing you could have done more is all part of the grieving process. Give yourself time to grieve and be kind to yourself. Toffee had got to a good age so you obviously cared for her and looked after her very well.

So sorry for your loss.
As others have said the way you are feeling is a natural reaction to grief.
You have to allow yourself time to work through the process and nothing really makes it easy.
It’s the price we pay for loving our piggies.
Be kind to yourself as you grieve.
The worst will pass and there are lots of us here supporting you.

I am really sorry for your loss. Grief is such an awful emotion and our journey through grief is unique to each person and indeed to each loss.

You really did all you could for little Toffee, she was loved loved it is plain to see, sometimes no matter how hard we try we cant save them. You gave her a life full of love remember that. Piggies are prey animals and hide issues really well, you have no blame in this at all

Thank you all for your kind words. I do hate the way people who have never had piggies just don't get it. It's almost quite funny the way they think they aren't unique, each with there own personalities. How wrong they are!xx

Thinking of you right now. Losing a much loved piggy is devastating and just like you said, some people don't get it. That's their problem. Sending you hugs and be kind to yourself and one day, although you can never replace your piggy, you may feel able to give another piggy a loving safe home. Run free little one, the Rainbow Bridge is very busy this week.
RIP beautiful, brave one. x
