i saw his cleared out enclosure for the first time today. it brought home the reality for me that he really is gone, and never coming back in this lifetime. i already miss him so much.

i’m waiting for when we get his ashes back. maybe then i will have some closure, being able to hold him again, in a way.

we’re going to be donating most of his things to a local rabbit shelter that my fiancé plans to work at. unopened treat bags, his big bag of hay, some toys he didn’t use, etc. we’re keeping most of his blankets and other things in his enclosure to always have a part of him with us. i plan on getting custom made keychains for us as well, and at some point in the future, my fiancé and i will get matching tattoos of him.

seeing his empty holder, his name tag still on the metal bars from a previous vet appointment still tears me apart. i still am in such shock that he truly is gone.

i’m so happy to have my fiancé by my side through this. we are each other’s #1 supporters. i’m so lucky to have him by my side to reassure me everything will eventually be okay whenever tears fill my eyes. oh, my sweet leon. how i loved him. he will forever be my baby, my bunny child.

i truly appreciate everyone’s kind words and compassion. it means more to me, and has helped my healing process more than you will ever know. thank you all so much. you all are such beautiful people with such compassionate and empathetic souls. i am forever grateful to have found this website. 💕🐾

I'm so sorry for your loss :(

We here understand that the pain is the same no matter the animal involved, no matter how big or small. I've had rabbits myself so I get it.

Your pain and grief - well it doesn't go away, but it gets easier to carry as time goes on. Much love to you and your fiancé.
