I have no idea why but I am really missing Connie this evening :( I have been looking at lots of photo's of her and it's really made me feel sad :0 Maybe it's too early to take a trip down memory lane xx
 
So very sorry you feeling so low and unhappy sweetheart.......it is always hard when you lose a very much loved pet.....you need to grieve no matter how long it takes....light a candle and talk to her..........a good cry can help.........sending loves and hugs at this sad time xx>>>xx>>>xoxoxoxo
 
honey, you'll miss her always. in time you'll swap your sad tears for smiles and laughter over the great times you shared with her. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Aww what Claire says is true. I still well up thinking of Pearl, not so much Elora as we didn't have her long. I don't mean anything by that its just we had Pearl from a baby and she was like bloomin' Tigger! It does get easier in time but we are almost 3 months in now and still it is upsetting.

Cuzzy was the worst though, the tears I cried for him some would say was ridiculous! But they touch you in a way that some people don't understand.

Chin up ol' girl as the posh Brits would say! Connie wouldn't want you to be sad. x
 
I still shed tears for my little farquhar who died months ago so I know how you are feeling. Connie was a big part of your life and you fought very hard to keep her with you. Let the tears come and dont bottle it up. Everyone on the forum who has lost a piggy knows how hard it is when the Rainbow Bridge Angels come for our four legged friends and its comforting to hear words of support from people who truly understand your loss.
 
i still well up over the loss of my beloved rabbit harry, that was over 5 years ago now. honey, it's not easy
 
Awwww It's so hard when you lose one of your pets :( they just are so much part of your life. It's normal to be sad and down and cry from time to time. I still think of my Sleepy and George every day and often have a good cry 8... It's because you care and miss your little girl Connie xxxxx
Your other girls will help to heal your heart in time :)
 
I'm sorry you're feeling down and upset tonight Claire. She'll be with you, always there for you. I know it's hard right now, Connie understands that too, but you will soon learn to 'feel' when she's with you. It's not the same as having the pig with you, it never will be, but when Connie suddenly comes into your mind, when you get the feeling that Connie is with you...remember that she is.

Aside from being the most recent loss, I still get so sad about Tuppy. She had something no other pig had, sme kind of charm, beauty and presence... Of course I miss my other two, I cry over them and want to hold them and kiss them again. But some animals just get to you, they touch your heart just that bit more...you can't explain it. It doesn't mean you love or miss the others any less, not at all. But there are going to be those who have entirely captured your heart - Connie was the one for you.

I must get a poem up in Rainbow Bridge that my mum wrote; she wrote ones for each of my three that we lost but the one she wrote for Charlie was so touching and true. It saw me through all three of my losses.
 
My first pig died at 1:20pm on Thursday 16 April 1992. That time and date is etched into my mind. No death since then, animal or human, has affected me so much.
 
i always, always miss my pigs. i miss the special bonds i had with each of them, it's never the same as with any other pig.
however it always comforts me to discover similar traits in pigs i now own. for example when any of my three popcorn i can see my other piggies and remember when they were babies on the lawn for the first time =] my mum helped me look after some of them when i was still a little girl and we often talk about them, and end up crying with laughter over the things they did! it's still sad they're not with us anymore but as long as you're remembering and loving them your pets never really leave you. <3
 
Claire, of course you are missing Connie, she was a very sweet and special girl, and because you'd had to do so much for her, there was that extra bond between you. It's still very early days, and grief takes many different forms - perhaps as you say, it's a little too soon for that trip down memory lane, but in time you'll be so thankful for all the photographs and memories.

Hugs to you, because I can feel your pain.
 
I have tears in my eyes as I read this thread, I know exactly how you all feel and I send you all lots of sympathy. It is never too soon or too late to remember those we have loved and lost, recall the lovely things about them and their personalities. I still weep for lost piggies and always will. They create a special place in your heart.
 
You are still mourning Connie. Do embrace it; it's part of the healing process of your soul.

It took me nearly a year to get over Minx, and I still feel her loss at odd moments even now after 18 months, because we had that close bond.

I sometimes think that we are freer to love our pets so deeply, because they give their love equally unconditionally. But there is a price attached to that: when they die we grieve as much as we would for a human love, as the depth of the emotional bond is what counts, not the species...
 
it is completely understandable that you miss Connie she was a huge part of you.I always say every animal and person that we love has a little piece of our heart but when they pass they take that little piece with them.Sometimes that can make you feel very empty and no piggie will ever take Connies spot,but take comfort knowing how much of a good piggy mummy you were to her and that a little piece of Connie will live on forever in your other piggiesxxxxxxxxx>>>xx>>>RIP Conniexxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Thank you all :) I think it is because we went through so much together with the constant vet visits and treatments. She really came to trust me and I still feel that I let her down. Connie and Eliza were my first piggies and I didn't expect to lost one so young xx
 
Just remember that she was loved and cared for, you did what you thought was going to help her, there is nothing wrong with that. I understand that you still feel a sad, I feel the same over Pinkie and all that she went through. She will always be with you Claire, and she knows that her mummy loved her, you couldn't have done any more to make her happy. She will be popcorning on the lawn over the rainbow bridge with Pinkie and Twinkle, I am sure they are all happy.x>>x>>
