It's been months since Muse passed away, but I still find myself crying.
I adopted him after my first bird passed away just after a week of having him. I knew that I would be able to heal Muse and he would be able to heal me. He was kept alone in the back of the store without any attention, and he had massive anxiety and was painfully shy. I was suffering from anxiety as well, and I was devastated and shocked due to the sudden passing of my first bird that I had only had for a week.
Muse and I healed each other, and eventually I adopted another lovebird and then Muse and Meredith became the best of friends.
It was my fault that Muse passed away. I wasn't watching him as closely as I usually do, and he got himself hurt. He was in pain and there was no way that the vet could've fixed him, so he was put to sleep.
I regret it every night, and I still feel like I should've pushed to find something to heal him.
I owed it to him. It wasn't fair that I just gave up on him. I owed it to him and his partner, and I let him slip through my fingertips.
I can't stop blaming myself and I miss him so much..

I'm so sorry about Muse. Please don't beat yourself up. I'm sure your vet would have told you if there was something you could have done. Sometimes the biggest gift you can give is to know when to let them go.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I can understand the deep connection you had with Muse...I had the same connection with Cassie. I was in a dark place when Cassie came into my life. She was a very loved bird, then was shunted to the basement by herself.
Together, we healed our souls. When she passed in 2010, I was completely devastated.

Perhaps it's time to forgive yourself about the situation. It's the ultimate act of love to give our animals release from their pain...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree that you shouldn't beat yourself up over her death. Accidents happen
