Rafiki

[hrafn]

This morning I went into the bird room to wake everyone for breakfast, and my sweet baby girl was gone.
We spent the evening dancing and playing and talking. She didn't seem sick. She was so happy, and so full of life. Nothing could have prepared me, and her death has hit me harder than the loss of any of the babes I've had.
She was only twelve. There was no reason for this, none at all. I don't know what to do. Nothing has ever felt so empty as the absence of her voice, which has even knocked her raucous siblings into silence. Kraz and Réy don't know where she's gone, and they keep looking for her and calling for her.
I'm so empty.
I'm shattered.
I miss my baby girl.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It may sound crazy, but showing your other birds her body may help them to realize that she's gone- if that's an option. Losing a bird unexpectedly is very hard.

I am so sorry to hear about your Rafi passing so unexpectedly this morning. Nothing can prepare you for the loss. Please take care of yourself annd your flock while you all grieve for her.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my ggc Huginn last March and still miss him everyday. Its going to be hard but just try and remember all the good times you had together. Huginn's best birdfriend, Uchtred, took the death very hard. She would stay up all night crying and during the day would look for him. Spend extra time with Kraz and Réy it will help them and you through the grief.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I fully understand what you're saying about that sad silence...I experienced it often in the past.

Wings Forever High, Rafiki....

How devastating. My heart goes out to you and your flock.

 

[Begone]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I understand that this was a shock for you. It's never easy to lose a friend, and when they die so suddenly the pain is indescribable.
I know that pain, it took me months to accept that my very healthy boy was gone.
So what ever you feel, you are mot alone. And we are a lot of people here that can help you if you want to talk about it.

The people here are feeling your loss with you. To suddenly have such a loss in your life is so very sad. Please know we are here for you. Sudden death in a bird most likely is cardiac or stroke.
