Jack's-Jane
Wise Old Thumper
Sorry, bit of a depressing topic
I have loved and lost many Bunnies over the years and usually find that I try to keep myself VERY busy with the other Buns when I have a bereavement. I sort of feel like I have to 'keep running' as if I stop and think it will be too painful
Trouble is I am finding it harder to do now. I think it was after losing my dear Jack that I became less able to 'go into auto-pilot' Then with the loss of Orlaith, Uncle Albert and Lord Lopsley in quick succession I really have started to feel jaded. Then yesterday we had to say farewell to Major Tom I cried a lot yesterday, but was also 'on remote' for much of the time. Today I just seem to feel more sad as each hour passes
Maybe trying to keep busy and not 'think' is no longer the way for me to cope with the loss of a Rabbit :?
How do those of you who have had to go through it 'manage'?
I know we are all very different and what is right for one person may not be right for another. I guess I'd just like to know if anyone else goes into 'keep busy' mode and if anyone can suggest why, for me, its no longer as 'effective'......
