Re: How to cope with loss of a much loved hamster
Hi Luvshamsters - I'm sorry to hear about you losing Benny. You are not crazy at all to feel so sad. For the first few days after losing Bobbi, I too was heartbroken and found it difficult to focus on anything. I had not realised how important she was to me. Not everyone understands how important pets can be in our lives and I had a few unhelpful comments of 'just go and buy another one', and even 'man up'. The support I have received from folks on here has been great and has helped me a lot.
It does get better with time. I still miss her, but I remember the funny little things she used to do and it makes me smile. I think that although they are only with us for a short time, the love we give our pets enriches both of our lives, and even though losing her was painful, I do not regret having her for a single second. You gave Benny such a happy life and you should cherish that.
Take care
Trev
