For those of you who don't already know, my darling little bunny, Yuki, passed away last Wednesday. The grief is just unbearable. I have waves of crying fits followed by void numbness. The first thought I have when I wake up is that my little Yuki isn't in this world anymore. It has been horrible enough for me, but I am left with yet another decision. At the vet when I brought him in, they were showing me little urns that they would put his ashes in if I decided to have him cremated, but I was in no state to make the decision at that time so they offered to put his body in their freezer until Spring when the snow melts and ground thaws out so I can bury him in our yard. They don't usually do that, but because he's so small, and the people at the vet know me so well and knew how much I loved him, they offered it to me. But now I'm not so sure. The plus side about him being cremated and put into a little urn would be that I could keep him with me in the house. But I like the thought of having a grave to visit where I can put flowers on every day. I was thinking of burying him by the big rock in our yard and have a little gravestone engraved for him. But the problem is that here in Canada, it's winter for over half a year. His grave will be covered in snow a lot, and I won't have fresh flowers to place on it. But the downside of having him cremated is I can't bear the thought of having his beautiful little body burned to ashes. I know it's illogical since he's no longer in that body, and I know he'll deteriorate anyway over time, but it just makes me sick to think about having him burned up. I know in the end it's my choice to make, but I would really appreciate your opinions and advice.
My friend made a suggestion to me that I think I will do. I'm going to ask the vet to cut off a piece of his beautiful white fur for me to put in a little packet and carry around with me. My friend said she did this when her beloved cat passed away and it helped. I'm hoping it will ease the pain a tiny bit for me too.
