Angels with Cottontails

XMissySJx

Wise Old Thumper
On the 19th of August 2009, I had my Peanut Butter put to sleep. It hit me very hard, and i was overwhelmed with grief. I started writing on nights i couldnt sleep, and eventually I ended up with a diary. This diary, shows the stages of grief, and how losing a bunny affects us caring bunny people.

I actually wanted to show it to you all ages ago, but i couldnt. But now, a year after his death, I can do it. If you would like to read it, please PM me with you email address, and i will send you the pdf file, if you do not have PDF/adobe, let me know and i will send you the word version.

I have called it "Angels with Cottontails" because that is what they are to us. ANYONE is welcome to read it, so just send me a message.

If you enjoy reading my ebook, please feel free to send a small donation to Liz at rainbow rabbits, because after coping with a rabbit with such a difficult problem, I am completly in awe of what Rainbow Rabbits does. This is not a fundraiser, you do not have to donate to read it, it is just if you feel you want to.

Thank You.

Have sent it Rach :)

If anyone has lost a bunny recently, or even ever I think you will be able to relate to it.x
 
I would love to read this... i will PM you. Im still struggling so much, i know you struggled lots at first too, so i hope one day it will get easier for me. I cant believe its been a year already for PB :cry: xx
 
God, i dont know if i could read it, i am almost in tears at the thought of it.
I will pm you and i will read it when i at home.
 
I cant believe it has been a year either! I would love to read your ebook I will PM you, thanks for allowing us to share this with you xx
 
Thanks everyone for the PM's, havent replied individually so just saying thank you on here. I know Peanut would like to help other sad bunny owners, so i hope it helps someone.x
 
It was lovely Sarah Jayne - I was already crying by page 2!!, but you sum up the different feelings you go through when you lose a bun so well! You are lucky (perhaps a bad choice of word, but I hope you know what I mean) that you have PB living on somehow though Domino, it sounds like you at least get some comfort through that. We only had 8 months with our little man, and he passed away over two years ago and I still miss him everyday. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us xx
 
Thank you, i hope it made you smile too, i tried to put funny bits in it too! :) I feel comfort that he lives on in Domino, i just hope Domino gets to live the long life Peanut couldnt. I spent months worrying Domino would suffer the same fate but hes now 3 and a half and no symptoms, i even had his legs checked by the vet to check he doesnt have the same condition.

Thanks for reading it :) x
 
Oh the bit about PB digging his hole and lying in it for hours before making Jelly lick him clean had me smiling. I thought that was lovely. I can understand why you miss him so much xx
 
The diary came to me without problems...but had me in tears before page 2...I read a bit more and collapsed in a heap.Not too fantastic as stuff happening this end, however,the diary is very good and sums up how I felt about my old Siamese cat,Lloyd.
I havent had the misfortune of losing a bun......

eeek sorry :oops:
 
I actually can't read any more, not right now any way.

I got to the bit about Jelly, cuddling up to Peanut Butter in the bottom half of the carry case. Now i can't make any phone calls for work for about 15 minutes, when i might have actually stopped crying, for Jelly and Peanut Butter, and for you.

You have a real knack of writing thats very emotional and makes me be able to picture whats going on. I can't be empathic as to how you feel, as i've not lost a bunny for so many years, not one as special as Peanut Butter obviously was to you.

i do not envy your situation, not at all, but i just want to let you know...you rock. Maybe thats not the right words, but my brain fails me right now.

I am going to have to read it in stages over a few days- its too emotional to read all at once!

It is very well written- you have a talent for writing!
 
I would love to read it i'll PM you now.
