Keziah - Beautiful Beyond Compare

Thank Wiebke. How are you doing now?Yesterday when I came home I was wheeked at very loudly. This morning both Merab and Jemimah were much more interested in breakfast than they have been so I’m happy they are adjusting after losing their cagemate.
For me it will take longer.
In some ways I feel I have an advantage because I deal with bereavement quite often.
This means I have an understanding of the process so there is an ongoing conversation in my head as I explain to myself why I feel the way I do and tell myself all the things I tell other people.
I just have to listen to myself as well as listening to you and other forum members.
I know the grief will ease but it will take time.
Fortunately this week is busy but not crazy so I can build in some personal space.
Your wisdom is much appreciated.

I still miss Calli very much, but I am not grieving in the usual sense - How can I be sad when she has surpassed all our expectations and has had just a great time for so long?
It is not the end I would have chosen for her (but we never get that choice anyway!) but she didn't suffer for long. I know that at her advanced age, if something was going to happen, it would most likely be rather quick and devastating and have been braced for that. And of course I was well aware from the start that I wouldn't have her for long, so I have tried my best to cherish every day she had longer with me and was happy and concentrate on celebrating her 'extra time'.

Tegan is pretty depressed but back to her old fickle and uncooperative self. I put her, my other single Beryn and submissive Llawen into a divided run yesterday afternoon to see whether there was any interest between any two of them, but was there even the least bit? - NADA! They all sat with their back to the others the whole time. ARGGHH! :( :( :(

Take your time; you can't hurry that on. We all grieve differently (and differently depending on the way of death and the bond with a beloved piggy) and develop our own coping mechanisms. You are currently going through what I call my 'digestive phase'. ;)

HUGS
 
What a beautiful tribute to a gorgeous piggy. So sorry for the loss of your furry baby. RIP little lady. :luv:
