I Miss My Guinea Pig, my sweet Peach died yesterday Options

[bunnicula]

Hello all...

I joined this last night because I am SO upset over the loss of my little guinea pig...he was the sweetest little guy. He was fine and healthy his whole life with us, but seemed lethargic on Christmas. The day after, he was so sick we rushed him to the vet. But they couldn't save him. The worst is, they don't know why he was sick, what he had. There was just nothing they could do for him.

I miss him so much. I can't stand it. All I want to do is hold my little Peach again. My boyfriend was so upset over the news he cried (very rare occurence) and I was absolutely hysterical. I'm still a little in shock...my b/f was kind enough to remove his cage from my sight and stash it in the garage, but I keep looking over at his spot next to the window and I can't stand that I can't just go over and hold my sweet guy.

We're going to bury him today, have to go pick him up from the vet. I might just ask my b/f to do it all himself, since I'm so shaken up about all this.

Thanks for listening. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday.

Dear Katie,

I felt and feel like you do............My sweetheart, best friend, and love, Oreo.....also a piggie......went to heaven on Oct. 13.................I am so sorry about your piggie, Peach..............piggies are the SWEETEST and most LOVABLE, aren't they??? :'(......

I too became "hysterical"......in fact, for about a month, I could barely eat, bathe myself (my mom helped me), or sleep.......I lost 15 lbs. in like 2 weeks......I felt shock, numbness, psychological trauma, anger, panic attacks/anxiety, despair, disturbing thoughts (thoughts that I knew were not really mine), sleeplessness, sobbing/crying, physical pain/stomach pains/migraines, trouble breathing, thoughts of suicide (only thoughts), confusion, frustration, the feeling 'everything was unreal', denial......among other things.........

I honestly still feel alot of those ways alot of the time, but God has shown me ways to "somewhat" "control" or "deal with" or "dim down" the feelings/thoughts.......and they do help.......sometimes...............I even have SOME times when I can smile/laugh when I think of wonderful memories/times with my baby, and rare times I can FEEL comforted by her/closer to her/like her presence is with me........but these times are always, of course, accompanied by the intense pain and longing of missing her........sometimes crying/having breakdowns too................but I am still grateful for those times................

Here is a *hug*.........I would give anything to be able to hold, cuddle, kiss, look in Oreo's eyes and tell her how much I love her again too (I also miss her smell soooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!)

Something that helps me is knowing that my precious baby is in heaven with God now...........gloriously alive, blissfully happy, and absolutely healthy..........just as your baby is!! I wonder if my Oreo and your Peach have met yet??? being "piggie related", you know?.........................................*little smile*

Private Message me if you'd ever like to talk..........


"Piggie licks" and love,
