        I was just wondering if any of you ever had any problems sleeping after the loss.  I find myself awake again, unable to get peace of mind to sleep.  I did well today, only one break down but now I find myself unable to stop.  I miss him so much and I can’t believe I won’t get to see him binky, or climb on me or do any of the silly things he did. 

         

        I re-arranged my living room just so I wouldn’t constantly be looking for him when I entered the room or when I got home.  I’ve even tried remembering the happy things, good memories but they just make it hurt more.  

         

        I am so thankful I do have my husband to go through this with, but he has to sleep sometime.  None of my friends or other family have even checked on me to see how I’m doing, and this is so hard.

         

        So I guess I’m just wondering about tips and advice to get some sleep.

          I know exactly how you feel. A little over a year ago I lost my beloved 9 year old Stormy. It was very hard. At night, that’s when all the questions would come….what else could I have done. etc. It takes time to get over the loss. When you love your animals, like we do, it hurts just as much as losing a family member. Because they are family members. There is really no way to rush through the grieving process.

          The happy memories will come. For a while, it will be sad to remember things and look at pictures. But it will come. And you will find yourself smiling thinking about him.

          I know it can make you very sad when friends and family members don’t understand how deeply you are grieving. But we understand. We are all here for you. That is what’s so wonderful about a bunny community, even if it’s only online.

          I have a lot of stress issues and when I can’t sleep, I often find that herbal teas help. Chamomile or an herbal blend for sleep. I buy a type called “Sweet Dreams” and it really does help me sleep. 

          This quote gave me comfort when I was grieving for my Stormy so I like to pass it on:

            Oh, honey… I’m so sorry. 🙁

            I don’t remember if I had trouble sleeping after losing Max (our lop), but I know that I “re-remembered” every morning first thing when I woke up. It is hard. It stays hard for a long time…

            You can talk to us here if that helps. We understand how you’re feeling.

            Feel free to respond to other posts if that helps keep your mind off things.
