Lucy

[Emilykatelyn]

I decided to make this post as a way to help myself mourn. I have been updating this forum on Lucy’s problems for the past couple weeks. All of your input I am extremely grateful for, but unfortunately, Lucy passed away Sunday, November 1st, 2015.

Everything seemed normal, I mean… As normal as Lucy could be while she had been breathing solely through her mouth for three weeks with no vets being able to tell me what was wrong with her or what step I should be taking next. I had family over for my boyfriends birthday party. Having people over didn’t over excite Lucy, because I had been having a lot of visitors over recently and I never saw a difference in her personality or behavior. I went Into my bunnies room to check on them after an hour of family being over and Lucy was gone. There was no sound, no warning. Within an hours time Lucy had passed away and I will never know why.

I got Lucy a year and a half ago. She was my savior. I’m not going to go into details, but I had suffered a very painful trauma. My boyfriend bought me Lucy to bring light into my life, and she honestly did. I never thought I would ever connect with a bunny so deeply. She was the sweetest baby I’ve ever known. She was always sweet, and always curious. She had such a personality, and I had literally done everything I possibly could for her. She was completely spoiled. I always imagined her being around for years and years.

Now that Lucy is gone everything feels weird. It’s like there is constantly something missing. I keep looking to her corner expecting her to be there and she isn’t. We buried her at my parents house, so I will be able to always visit her grave. But I still miss her and I just feel like I wish there was more I could have done. I wish the multiple vets I went to and invested money and time into could have told me something to do for her. I knew I was waiting for her death but I never knew it would be so soon.

Losing Lucy is like losing a family member. I will never forget what a wonderful sweet bunny she truly was. I hope she realizes how much I truly loved her, and even though I wasn’t there next to her when she passed I wish I could have been. I’m happy she let go if she was suffering. I’m grateful she didn’t die in some violent aggressive manor. But I wish she was still here, and I don’t know when that feeling will go away.

Oh I’m so sorry she left

I can relate to the being in a dark place and then a bunny lights up your world more than one would ever dream they can. I am terrified of the pain that will come with the loss of either of mine and I’m so sorry you have to be feeling it now ((( Hugs )))

I’m sure she was aware of your profound love for her.

((( Binky free beautiful Lucy )))

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

It’s amazing how they can touch our lives.

I’m so sorry for your loss of Lucy. You did so much for her, you couldn’t have done more. I’m so sorry they couldn’t cure her.
Binky Free, sweet Lucy.

I’m so sorry for your loss – I’ve been reading your thread closely, and was so hoping for a happy outcome! She was a beautiful girl.

Binky free, Lucy.

I’m so sorry. That is a terrible thing. The feeling doesn’t go away. It just gets easier to live with. I lost Merlin in July after an agonizing complicated illness. Merlin was bonded to Guinevere. They were the snuggliest pair I’ve ever met. I adopted a pal to bond her with, Lancelot. I love him dearly. But nothing can take Merlin out of my heart. I could still cry today over him. The pain doesn’t go away. It just changes and gets easier to live with. We know our fur children have shorter life spans than us. But we don’t want to go there in our minds. We rather enjoy the life and light that they bring to us. It’s so difficult when that comes to an end. I’m sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your sympathy. It means everything that I have somewhere to turn on and such an amazing community of fellow bun lovers!

[Emilykatelyn]

Thank you for your sympathy. It really is amazing, I never expected to love a bunny so dearly.

[Emilykatelyn]

Thank you for your sympathy, it means so much. I wish I could have done more for her.

[Emilykatelyn]

Thank you for your sympathy. I was also hoping for a miracle! It’s devastating.

[Emilykatelyn]

Thank you for your sympathy, and your story. I am also so sorry for your loss. We are thinking of rescuing from a shelter a new bunny soon. No bunny will ever replace Lucy in our hearts though.

[BB & Tiny]

Good for you ! I’m sure a bunny from a rescue would be grateful for the chance to have its forever home filled with a love from a bunmom such as yourself

Our babies are never replaced, the memories are unique as the bunny was. No one ever expects it to be a short time, but sometimes that is out of our control.

I wish all the best for you.

I am so sad to read that Lucy has gone :'(
Thinking of you and sending virtual hugs your way. There is of course, no filling the hole that our dearest animal companions leave in our lives, but there is sometimes room in your heart remaining that can be extended to a new life in need of it. I am glad to hear you will be thinking of adopting, it is a great gift to give a lonely bunny.
Bless you and binky free, Lucy. Please watch over those who have loved you, from the Rainbow. xx

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
I, too, am going through something similar, as I have just had to put my beloved bunny to sleep. It’s so hard in the first stages, but people are telling me that it can ease up, and eventually there will be a time when memories will make you smile and not cry.
Something that is helping me is making a scrapbook of pictures and memories of Cinnamon so that I will never forget her.
I think it is good to hear that you are considering adoption; I am thinking of rescuing another bunny in the New Year, though I am certain that no pet rabbit will ever replace Cinnamon. But maybe it is good to open our hearts to new animals that we will love and they will come to love us.

Binky free, Lucy.

[Emilykatelyn]

I am so sorry for your loss as well. Losing a bunny can be absolutely heart broken. I just lost Lucy’s sister last night from a random seizure. Too many bunny deaths in the past weeks for me…. Now I only have the bunny I rescued from the shelter.

A scrapbook sounds really nice. I’m sure our bunny friends know how much we truly love them, and now they are free of pain and suffering, binkying around in bunny heaven.

Thank you for your condolences.
