My Best Friend Has Gone Options

[gossamerwings]

Hello everyone,

I am new here and want to say that reading your posts has been so uplifting for me. I feel that I have somewhere to come to and know that others understand me completely.

My little bird named Cheeky - he was too - passed away on Saturday 9th May. I came downstairs but didn't see him in his usual place in his cage and when I opened the lounge door and went into the room I saw he was was in the corner of his cage and had died. It has totally shattered me. I feel as though my heart is breaking. I had him for 12 years and he was such a fabulous little boy and my trusting and loving friend. We had played as usual early into the morning and when I went to bed, I said goodnight and everything was fine. He was my first pet.

My husband left me last November, and my little birdy was someone who I knew would be there for me whatever happened. We played - he shouted at me if the tv was too loud, if he didn't like some music from the tv or if anything didn't please him. I talked to him softly and sometimes when he was creating a fuss, I would slightly raise my voice and he loved it - he would argue back . If I went out, when I came back he would run down his perch and kiss me on the nose - oh he was such a lovely little character.

I love and miss him so much - he was cremated today and I am waiting for his ashes and a couple of his feathers to be returned to me in a china heart shaped container. Oh, I do miss him.

Thanks for listening.

Oh thank you both so much. I didn't ever think that I would feel the love and support on my loss as I have done just reading your messages.

I thought, before I found this beautiful site, that nobody would understand the hurt I am going through. I do believe that our pets do stay around us as their soul remains where they were happiest. I talk to my Cheeky boy and I know he hears me.

The pet cemetary and crematorium that I entrusted my little boy to the care of is a wonderful place. I am happy in the knowledge that Sue the owner has the utmost love and respect for animals of all types. She is a bereavement counsellor for owners of pets that have passed and has such a lovely way about her. I was so happy that she would look after my little loved for me throughout his time with her in the in the chapel of rest and during the cremation process.

I want to say that I feel for you both on knowing that you have lost your loving companions Fred and Raja. Your were and are beautiful people. Their souls live on with us and they are all playing together I know.

Thank you again so much for being so understanding and helpful.
