I know too the heartache. After having Magee (my Lilac-crowned Amazon parrot) for 15 years, through marriage, divorce, many driving trips to Florida on my shoulder and everything in between. He was my one constant through those years, he caught a cold to phnemonia and died 3 days later in my hands. My heart couldn't hurt more. And still does telling you here. And I lost him in 1992.
I never did get another bird, but have the 'new' love of my life - Parker, the weiner dog for the past 6 years. He fills my heart now. But each 'baby' is different and it takes time. Allow yourself to grieve. There are no rules.
Thanks for sharing. Alot of us do feel your pain.
PS...No, there is nothing more important than love!
sorry to hear about your loss at such a critical time. It always seems that God puts some kind of life into ours to latch on to. Personally, Magee is the first parrot I have heard that gave someone support. We never know where the next sign of love will come. Sure is relief to have support when we feel so down. I bet Parker is a good dog. He knows you better than any person could. Dogs do not care what we look like, smell like, walk like, happy or sad, etc. their spirit is there for only one reason to be near you. If only we would just treat them as if it were their last would be mutual relationship. I apologize for not noticing your post but the one that started with smoke king grabbed my attention and responded. did not want you to feel I didn't care about Magee. 15 years long time. What memories you must have. They are all yours. Thanks for telling us about the love you had.
