Rest in Peace Sev 🐽 forever and always in our hearts 💕

[RachelJordan]

It’s been almost a week since our beloved Severus passed away unexpectedly and I’m just as heartbroken as the moment he left us on Sunday, 19th January 2020.

He brought such joy into mine & my partner’s life on a daily basis, it just doesn’t seem real at the moment that he’s gone & every day I’m in bits coming home from work knowing he won’t be greeting me on arrival.

We call him the fluffiest of lovelies & I always knew just how special a little guy he was. At first sight, I fell in love with Sev & how lucky we were to have him in our lives to get to know that adorable personality.

I’ll forever miss those high-pitched wheeks at the very rustle of a bag, his outstretched chicken legs & purrs when he was getting a good ol’ rub (when it was an especially good rub he would give our hands little licks) & of course I’ll miss you coming & sitting on my feet on a regular basis. Oh & of course your love of parsley

My wee Severus lives on through his brother Rigby, who seems to be coping a lot better than his piggy parents. We do plan on getting Rigby a companion through a rescue centre, although it pains me as it feels like replacing Sev at the moment.

Severus, you will always be with me no matter where I go. If I ever have children they will be made very aware you were the O.G of the household. You will still be moving back to Ireland with us in September & on the grass u should have been munching on, we’ll plant your forget me nots as a happy reminder of the good life you lived.

When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure

Rest in peace my wee treasure

So sorry for your loss.
Severus was so cute and clearly well loved.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.

Rigby will need a companion before you are really ready but the new pig will be a successor to Severus, not a replace.
He will always have his own special place in your heart and you have enough love to welcome another piggy.
The wonder of the human heart is it’s infinite capacity to love

I am ever so sorry about your loss! Severus was a big and much loved personality and he will always his place in your heart.

There will never be another like him as every bond and relationship is unique. Love is rather like a stream of water that flows through your life; it is always there but it is never the same. You will find that your next love is going to be very different to the bond you have shared with Severus. Not less or more, just unique in its very own way.

it helps me to imagine my piggies as little furry guardian angels that look out over my current crop and help me being a better owner by what they have taught me and have brought to my life. Giving back what they have given me is the best legacy I can make them.

Hope you are coping as well as you can be with the loss of Severus.
I've been looking for a photo frame like the one in your shrine to Severus, and can't find one anywhere. Do you mind me asking where you got it? I'd like one for my departed boar.

Good morning

Sorry I’m just seeing your message. Thank you so much for your kind words

We got the wooden box from Memorial Wood where little Sev was cremated but she also does deliveries. I’ll attach the link below, it’s the smallest size photo lid box. The lady’s name is Rowan, it may be worth giving her a call if you have questions She’s lovely & even printed the photo of Severus for the box.

Thank you so much for that. I didn't realise that's also like your urn, what a gorgeous memorial for a stunning piggy. Hope Rigby is doing ok x
