Nimmy

[Samicles]

It really breaks my heart that I have to make this post. But earlier this morning Nimmy passed away. He woke me up, almost 10 minutes before an alarm I had set would wake me up so I could syringe feed him. He was rolling and thrashing around in his cage uncontrollably. I quickly tried to hold him still so he wouldn’t hurt himself but he wouldn’t stop. So I picked him up, trying to pet him and calm him, which is when I noticed he kept opening his mouth, gasping for air. I placed him on my bed, after another moment of thrashing he ended up on his side, breathing heavily. I immediately started petting him, trying to calm him but another moment later he was gone..

I’m so heartbroken. He was really my best friend and I had really thought he was going to get better. I don’t think I’ll ever be as close to another pet like I was to Nimmy. I miss him so much, it’s going to take me a long time to get over this.

I’m so deeply sorry, Samicles. I know you loved him so much. It’s just heartbreaking that he didn’t make it despite all your efforts.
I’ll go and light a candle here now for Nimmy.

Binky free Nimmy.

I’m very sorry for your loss. He will be missed by many. (((Hugs)))

Oh dear, I’m so sorry to hear this, you did all you could do.

This is my first time alone in my room since Nimmy passed… I feel so alone. I can’t stop crying. He was there for me through so much. I want him back. I’m so miserable. I don’t know how I’m going to move on without him.

My grandmom gave me pajamas with bunnies on them. I said it was okay, that I’m fine. But I can’t even stand to look at them. And every time I look at the empty cage… I can’t handle this. I want him back so badly. I need him in my life. He’s all I had.

Samicles, you poor dear, I know how you feel, you’ll be fine, it is early days dear, pyjamas with bunnies on, oh how sweet, I’m sure Nimmy would love you to wear them to keep warm and not catch cold, can someone remove Nimmy’s cage until you feel a little better or until you can get another rabbit? I am sorry for what has happened, sometimes these things happen out of the blue, its very difficult when we loose a friend like a bunny, he is better now you did all you could, I’m sure Nimmy knows that and does not want you to be sad, can you talk to a parent and tell them how you feel dear? Maybe Grandmom, sometimes writing in a book about how we feel can help us learn to live with things, take good care of yourself.

It’s so incredibly sad to loose a beloved pet, Samicles, and it leaves this huge hole in your heart that you feel never can be filled. It’s like a part of yourself was missing. That is the price we must pay for loving someone so much. Still it IS better to have loved someone so dearly than to never have had that someone in your life, even if it means this sharp pain right now. I’m so glad you got to have Nimmy and that he got to have you.

Sometimes it helps to make a little collage of pictures or to light a candle or as Pinky suggests, write something. And try to be with people, nice people.

I wanted to add a bunch of pictures of him into my scrapbook. And his cage is part of a shelving unit which I don’t want to remove. I’m planning on taking off the cage bars and just using it as another shelf.

Another rabbit is out of the question. Any pet at all is out of the question. I seriously can’t withstand another heartbreak anytime soon. Though I’ve been thinking about owning a pair or trio of gerbils for a while but I can’t. If something were to happen to them I don’t know what I’d do.

Like I said, Nimmy was my best friend. I actually don’t have any friends, just my boyfriend. So Nimmy helped me not feel so lonely. But now I feel utterly alone. I decided I’m going to work on myself. I want to make myself happy, make friends, do hobbies, etc. It’ll take me a while to get over it. I’m still so devastated. I’ve actually forgotten for a split second on multiple occasions, and glance at his cage only to find it empty. I miss him so much.

I’m glad you’ve decided to work on yourself since you feel a need to change. I hope you will make yourself very happy.

And I do hope that one day you can open your heart to another pet. 

[Sr. Melangell]

Glad you are moving on and may get another pet or pets.
Nimmy was on the list when me and Olly lit a candle.
You can get lovely books to put photos in now, some with boxes that you can put little things in that Nimmy liked to play with inside
Rest in peace Nimmy.
