Feeling so down - grief/loss

Some of you might remember my bunny Benji, who passed away in October last year. I love all of my bunnies loads but Benji was something else, one of those "one of a kind" bunnies if you know what I mean:lol:

Normally I'm pretty good at just getting on with things, and I did for a long time but I've had such a rubbish time in the last nine months or so and I've started missing Benji so badly for some reason :( I think it's because I put so much time and effort into my rabbits and Benji was the only one who ever gave any affection back if you know what I mean? He'd groom me, climb all over me for cuddles, follow me around the house, jump into my lap and flop on me:lol:... I genuinely think he loved me:) (Now I know why my friends call me crazy rabbit girl....)

I suppose I just miss my little cuddle bunny, and because I ignored my grief at the time it's all come back now that everything else in my life has calmed down.

Here's his memorial video for anyone who's interested, I love it:

I know how you feel I have lost 3 of my favourite rabbits in less than 18 months and one of them 'Pud' who I lost last November I just can't get over or deal with it, I still miss him terribly and still cry from time to time for him it's just so hard :cry:

Sending hugs xxxx
 
I fully understand.
I had to have one of my bunnies (aged almost 8) pts in December after there was just nothing else to be done.
He was a badly injured half-wildie I rescued as a baby and we formed such a close bond, particularly as he lived in the house for quite a while (and up my t-shirt for a lot of the time) as I was having to syringe feed him and nurse him back to health.
I have two other rabbits I love dearly - but I still miss my boy so badly.
I think we just have to accept the grief. The pain certainly doesn't go away: it is, sadly, a case of learning to live with it.:cry:
Hope other things settle down and you will start to feel better.

Thanks :( It's horrible isn't it, when they're so special to you and in particular when you know it's not their "time". I have a bunny called Pud as well, he always reminds me of your Pud xxxx

It is horrible and it doesn't matter how many you lose it just never get's any easier :(
