Glacier

[Glacier313]

~August, 2013 - February 10, 2017~

Hello. It's been a very long time since I was last on this site, but I felt I should at least update.

Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life.

I woke up in the morning to find Glacier egg bound and in pain. My dad rushed her to the vet while I was at school.

The veterinarian removed the egg and they had her in stable condition until around 4:00.

She had a seizure and passed away; only 30 minutes before we were scheduled to see her and check in on her.

We drove out to pick her up and I sobbed the entire way there and back. I cried for hours that night.

We buried her in the wildflower garden, near where her mother GG and her sister Dove had both been put to rest as well.

I'm still in shock that she's gone. She was my sweet baby, my best friend, overall the most amazing bird.

Yellowface has been calling for her all day today, as well as the rest of the flock.

I just don't know what to do, I feel hollow. Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with this?

Thank you for listening,

-Liana

I'm so sorry sweetie, just take all the time you need, we never " get over it" we deal, we remember, we go on. Give Yellow face some extra loving, he's greiving too.

I'm so sorry. You're not alone. Try to be strong and supportive to the rest of your flock. I would take breaks to cry and talk to my lost ones, it made me feel a bit better. I think they stay around and can hear us.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

The other birds know there is someone missing and will call for them. I know it's so very hard to comfort them because you're grieving also.

Wings High, Glacier...

I'm so very sorry about your loss of little Glacier. I hope your other birds will make you feel better right now, and at some point your memories of her will help.

Take some solace in knowing that your girl is no longer suffering And try to be there for the flock you have left. You can all grieve for Glacier together Time will lessen the pain

Very sad indeed to lose your little budgie. As a former hospice nurse I can suggest a couple of things in this early stage of your grief. Fist is to think of all the good times you had with her, when she was cute and sweet or even a bit nasty and write them down in a memory book. If you have photos include them in the book. Write a poem too. The other thing that may help is to make a small memorial to her, maybe place on a table top so you and everyone that cared about her can see. Did you save any feathers?

These are lovely ways to remember

So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
My advice is to cry, make a memorial place and just remember all the good and happy things as much as you can.
I also light a candle every night and talk to them like they still are alive, it has always helped me.

Liana, I am so sorry for your loss of Glacier. Your grief and pain is a testament of your love and care for her. In time, your memories will comfort you and you will be able to smile when you think of her. Your other birds are grieving also...

Im so sorry for ur loss

 

[❤ Rosette ❤]

I'm incredibly sorry for her death.


This might be a dumb suggestion, but perhaps making a little headstone tribute to her could help you with the closure aspect of it? I'm an artsy person myself, though, so this tactic might not be for everyone.
