Gemma, I am so extremely sorry to hear of your terrible loss of Tinkerbell. What a lovely tribute you gave her; I was teary-eyed reading all the love that you poured out in your words. She sounds like she was truly such a special hammy, and she was loved by everyone who knew her. The loss of someone so dear to your heart is overwhelming and heartbreaking, but don't let the pain of loss prevent you from experiencing the immense joy that loving and caring for a little one adds to your life. Right now your feelings are so raw and filled immense grief, maybe in time after you have fully had an opportunity to heal your broken heart, your tears of sadness over such a loss will turn into tears of happiness over such a wonderful life Tinkerbell had. Don't feel the pressure of making any big decisions right now. You will know in your heart if and when the time to make those decisions is right for you. Whether or not you choose to give another hammy a loving home, do what is right for you so you can always find peace in your decision. Time is a wonderful healer so just focus on snuggling with Pixie and letting her comfort each other with love and care. Big hugs to you; we are all here for you. Surround yourself with friends who loved Tinkerbell as well and find peace knowing that she had the greatest life any hammy could wish for because she was truly loved and cherished. May the treasured memories make your days brighter. Rest in peace, sweet, sweet Tinkerbell. May you play well at the Rainbow Bridge and send a ray of sunshine down to your loving mum who misses you dearly.
