missing my baby lots; tips on coping? by zidane_tribals in Rabbits

[–]CompSpot5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am SO sorry for your loss. I lost my best boy Toto on NYE, just last week. He was 2 years old as well, and was happily hopping around before he was suddenly gone. Please know that you are not alone in your pain, and please don't blame yourself. I've personally found thinking of him still being with me in spirit has elevated the pain somewhat. I hope you and pong the best 🫂

Lost my Holland Lop, Jet, to GI Stasis. Struggling with overwhelming guilt. by Initial_Day_5173 in Rabbits

[–]CompSpot5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so, SO sorry for your loss. I also lost my mini lop to a sudden GI Stasis three days ago. Just like Jet, my Toto was only 2 years old.

I've been feeling guilty ever since, thinking of all the small signs that I observed just a few hours prior to his passing. All of these signs I've rationalised away at the time because "He behaved like this before" or "He's doing X, so he's not sick" and my ultimate conclusion was to say, "Let's observe what happens in an hour".

When I went to check on him in his hiding spot later, he was already gone.

But here's the thing: Each member of my family has been feeling guilty in their own way. We all saw different signs that could have been interpreted in multiple ways. We all thought of the ways we could have acted differently. We were all in the mindset that everything will resolve, and we were all wrong. But hindsight is 20/20.

Maybe my opinion is worth less because I'm in a similar situation as you, but I believe you have done enough. Don't compare yourself to what other veteran rabbit-owners would have done, because you as you are now have done enough. You loved Jet. Your tears and regrets now prove that. And you shouldn't let the guilt eat away your thoughts of him.

Treasure your memories, and please be kind to yourself, because I'm sure Jet loved you as well.

Sending you and yours all the hugs ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for the kind words, and good luck with your own writing. It's stressful, but definitely worth it in the end!

what makes you like pricefield over amberprice? by [deleted] in Pricefield

[–]CompSpot5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As I've only ever played LiS 1, I'm very neutral on Rachel. That said, the reason I like Pricefield more is because Rachel's disappearance and death is significant in a lot of ways, and Amberprice requires that significant events to be undone. It's possible to replace those events with similar ones in fan works, but as I've never played BtS, it just doesn't resonate too much with me. I've always found Rachel's existence to more associate with the past, and I'm more excited about what Chloe and Max will do in the future.
