Sun conure passing away

My precious sun conure, Rio passed away in their sleep last night. They just turned 1 a month ago and we never got to get a DNA test for them. Rio was always different compared to my other sun conure, Sonny. They were always wobbling and falling, never stable. We took them to the vet so many times to try and seek help. We did everything in our power to help, our family loved Rio so much. I’ve never lost a pet I’ve loved so dearly and my heart hurts so much. I dunno how to deal with this grief. Please, if anyone has any tips I’d love to hear them.

I wish I had tips but I do not. There are no rules, there´s no guide. Do what you need to do, do what brings you comfort, be it cry, laugh, reminisce.
Maybe talk to someone, maybe a friend or family member?
You could also start a little project; create a little space where you can remember Rio. Maybe a shelf with his favourite toy and pictures, or maybe paint stones and place them in a corner of the garden.
Just some ideas. Sending big hugs :hug9:

I’m planning on making a memorial where their cage used to be, thank you for the kind words. ❤
