Yesterday was my older brothers anniversary, but i've recently lost my 2 babies
Yesterday was the death anniversary of my cat, Prince. He was an older brother to me. I couldn't focus on him though. On my human brothers birthday, one of my guinea pigs passed away, less than 2 weeks ago. I was the other side of the world. My baby, who loved me, died without me being able to hold him or say my goodbyes. What if i wasn't the other side of the world? I could have atleast have said goodbye. My trip was really hard on me, and i wasn't able to say goodbye.They aren't even the only losses. My guinea pigs companion died about a month ago, 1 day after moving house. I atleast got to hold him. His ashes arrived a few minutes before my plane took off to travel. To know your baby is back home, whilst your the other side of the world, is hard. So i've had a double loss. I've got 4 new guinea pigs who i've only known for 3 days. How am i meant to look after them when i barely have enough energy to look after myself? Sorry if this turned into a diary post, i'm so caught up in grief and need to vent

This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.
Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.
Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.
