Hi all. I start with good intent but I could not finish my true feelings.
Friday tom 25th is a day I will struggle with. this time last year my wolrd was less brighter when a male piggie died.
He was Pedro and I'm a coward as I've still not done a fitting tribute for him. Oh I've tried several times and my tears of hurt fallin make me stop. Coward.
My heart is full of love for that guy and i will share it soon. I'm not alone as I know lots of us here have suffered by Rainbow World collection of wonderful and so missed piggies.
my message that night on a thread called PASSED AWAY. has allowed me to meet this forum and several fantastic now friends. I'm gona struggle to finish but Pedro miss you so :bye::bye:much and i owe you for allowing me to carry on loving beautiful piggies.
I'm sad now.
 
Hey,
I’m am so sorry for your loss.
I also recently lost one of my piggys and spent a lot of time not eating , drinking and I made myself ill. I blamed my self for her death and hated myself everyday for it
Some things to help.
Remind yourself that that whole point of having guinea pigs is so that we can look after them and hive them a happy life until they cross the rainbow bridge. Pedro had a life full of fun,love and cuddles with you . Never forget that. He couldn’t have asked for more with you.
Go on with life and look after yourself, time will help with the loss.
Hugs hugs hugs xxxxxxxxxxxx
 
David, grief really does take time and anniversaries are the hardest.
A year isn’t long in terms of grieving so you are most certainly not a coward for taking time to post Pedro’s tribute.
The fact that the loss still hurts is a sign of how much he was loved.
Grieve well - this is how we heal and remember that Pedro will always be alive in your heart.
 
I shall be thinking of you tomorrow David. But please don’t think you’re a coward. You are most certainly not that. As already mentioned, a year is no time at all. I still grieve for my piggies who have passed several years ago!

Pedro will always live on in your heart and you will never forget him x
 
David, you are not a coward! You are a caring, loving owner who loved his little man. Everything you post about him is a tribute to him, every time you speak to people about him, share your memories of him, pictures, is a tribute to him. You don't need to put one of his passing on rainbow bridge if you don't want to and please don't feel like you are doing him an disservice for not doing so. You are one of the most kind and caring people I have ever met and that shows every day in the way you speak about your little ones. We know how much you love them all and we are here with you while you grieve xx

You dont know how much you guys are helping. I'm at a loss for clever words but as I reflect I say Thank You. 20160710_143313.webp
The Late Powerful Pedro.
 
HUGS

The first anniversary is always the hardest, whether that is a beloved human or pet. Of course, they are still in your heart and in mind all the time. You will never stop missing them although it is getting somewhat less painful over time. :(

Pedro was blessed to have you. I am sure that he is working hard as a little furry guardian angel for you and your current piggies! It is my way to visualise what I carry in my heart and how the legacy is informing and improving the lives of my current piggies. ;)
 
You are not a coward David. i still haven't wrote a tribute here for Cookie or Sarsaparilla, it doesnt mean I loved them any less just that with both deaths it didnt feel like the time. It will be at some point. We all work through grief in different ways at different speeds.

You gave Pedro a wonderful home, be proud of that.

I understand in a way what you mean.
I have at the moment 5 girlie piggies. If was not for Pedro showing me how they can enrich oneself by simply giving a piggie a chance to have a happy life then I wouldn't have them.
Saying that Pedro was a bully he would run away hide Bite and be naughty but at times he could cool the sun with things. He would follow me around and when get a chance put his two front paws on my foot knowing that if I moved he be 1st to know. He think nothing of trying to open a solid wood door 1000 times bigger than him with a body nudge. lol. Thanks Wiebke. I wrote this with a smile. :luv:

My Minx really lived up to her name, but she is still my most special piggy even though she died 10 years ago. It is the precious memories that keep us going, but also make us to miss our special ones.

Pedro's legacy is still alive in your current piggies and how you interact with them; his story doesn't just end with his death. It is just a new chapter. ;)

There is always the pain of the loss, but there is also some joy and pride. Remember the fun bits as much as you accept the pain!

David you are not a coward. You are a caring loving piggy slave. You will never get over the loss of Pedro. However you will come to terms with his death.

Thanks Lee. I never realised how much I miss him.
It was luck 2 weeks ltr that your forum has a meet and @Hoppity.K and i came along for me therapy. I soon felt able to moan and not one person didnt have enough time for me.
This Forum has given me hours of entertainment and huge amounts of help as we build up a herd.
Basically Thank You.
 
So sorry for your loss. Please don't feel like a coward.
Piggies are so special and if our love could keep them alive they would live forever. Instead they live on in our hearts. I miss all the piggies I've lost to the rainbow bridge, the tears, the guilt. I wish there was someway to ease your pain.
Pedro was loved and happy, that's the most important thing.
Sending you big hugs.
Sleep tight little Pedro.xx
 
Sending you both hugs today. Anniversaries bring back beautiful memories and also bring back all those feelings of love and loss. They can feel as fresh as the day it happened. Pedro was a special piggy who will always have a place in your hearts. And he has paved the way for other beautiful souls to come and live with you guys, too.
 
Thinking of you and sending lots of hugs. The depth of your sadness reflects the depth of the love you had for him. :luv:
 
Pedro looked and sounded quite a character! I was talking to @Hoppity.K at the Birmingham Meet about him. I went home and told Dennis the next day which is why Dennis did the honour of making him the only Posthumous member of the Stripy Nose Club.
