It is absolutely terrible. No doubt about it. Broken heart, broken life, broken existence. It’s been over 6 months for me. The longer it gets the less I can remember the details of exactly how long it was before I started to feel like I was getting over it. It takes time. Time is truly the only thing in common with anyone getting better (so it seems). I remember it seemed like I was broken forever. Horribly broken, never going to be the same, never able to function normally again. But it will come. It’s still pretty recent and fresh for you. The yearning is normal and admittedly sometimes overwhelming. So emotionally painful because you do just want them back so much. That simple. Just be back. It should be simple. But time only goes in one direction for all of us.
I know there is an emptiness and a quietness that can’t really be described. The only little anecdotes I can give are to keep yourself busy. Do spend quality time with Peach. She probably could use some distraction through love and time spent as well. Every time you think of them try, as hard as it is, to be grateful and thankful and appreciative for getting to share life with them. Most people don’t understand or get the gift of having little bunnies. You did. Be thankful that you experienced something so unique and special. Try to beat down the waves of sorrow and being lost with the most awesome happy fun cute laughing memories of them when they were here. There is no beating around the bush about any of this. It is rough. One of the ultimate psychological tortures. But keep moving forward day by day. Your days of feeling better are coming. They just aren’t quite within reach yet. But they are coming and they will arrive. You will one day realize you aren’t as bad as you were. And the process gradually continues as you move through this.
I tend to talk (or type as the case may be) too much. But as time goes on I can think of Icey (our little girl) and mostly smile now and giggle to myself, sometimes laugh out loud. Not hardly any crying. We all heal differently and at different rates.
As you yearn for their return they yearn for you to be happy. We all want those that we love and leave behind to be truly happy. I am sure they want the same for you. You gave them a wonderful life. They were loved and they knew it. They love you back. They want you to be happy and enjoy your time here as they did. Know and remember you will get better in time.
Thinking of all of you.
