The pain is so very real

Tuesday morning I decorated Clara’s room with fresh flowers. I wanted it to feel like we were in a beautiful garden, just me and my baby girl. I’d like to tell you we spent hours cuddling, giving each other kisses, and crossing everything off her bucket list, but in typical Clara fashion… she didn’t give a sh*t about me.

This afternoon at home, Cookie (her stuffed bun friend) and I helped her pack up her bunny suitcase, shed her earth suit, and leave for her next life adventure in the astro ever after.

To most, Clara was known for her cute little ear nubs, her antisocial goth teenager ‘tude, and the complete disdain she had for me and all the ways in which I tried to please her.

It was Clara’s world, and I was just lucky enough to live in it.

Clara May,
The 12 years spent with you I will never forget. The lessons you taught me, and the amount of joy you brought to my life by just existing is immeasurable. Your resilience is like nothing I have ever seen. In moments where I don’t think I can keep truckin’, I will think of you, and keep driving forward. I was so lucky to be your momma. You always were, and will continue to be my sunshine– we’ll just be watching each other from a different angle now. Thank you for being so unapologetically you. It was my favorite thing. ❤

I hope you’re scampering around in a giant salad, playing with new bunny friends, and rulin’ the roost up there in the galaxy. You were always so good at that.

I’ll miss you until I see you again baby girl,

❤ Mom

I am sorry for your pain. I’m sorry that our furry companions can’t stay longer. It was Clara’s time, she made it to 12 because she had the best life with the best bun parent.

But no words can take away that pain.

Binky free, sweet Clara May.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 I know you had to make a tough decision, and I’m sure it was the right one, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

And what a beautiful tribute. <3

I’m so sorry for your loss, it looks like you gave Clara such a fulfilling life.

What a beautiful send-off for her! I’m really impressed by her age and all the love and care you gave her. It’s so special to have a senior rabbit: you suddenly bond a lot more in those last years, and it makes the passing even more painful.

I unexpectedly lost my little buddy Breintje in October, at 9 years and 2 months. As he aged we spent so much time together, I didn’t know what to do with my day when he passed away so suddenly. I still cry for him at random moments, even though we have two gorgeous young bunnies. That I miss him means that I love him.

It may sound a bit crude, but it’s a beautiful thing that you could give her a dignified passing. You gave her an amazing life, and I think that she appreciated you a lot in her own way.

Binky free sweet Clara May!

Clara was beautiful! I agree, you did a very good job with her and you got her to 12. That’s a good, long life for a bunny.
