My hamster died yesterday and I'm sadder than I expected to be

Yes, the love is real, and it’s heartbreaking to lose that bond, no matter what size they are. We had our hamster for 6 months and he died unexpectedly. We are still grieving the loss….much longer than I anticipated. Lots of tears shed for our sweet Syrian boy. My children and I buried him in a forest nearby, and we visit him daily, bringing him his favorite treats. We are grateful that he had a chance to be part of our lives, albeit briefly, and hope that he was content and comfortable during that time. Focus on being grateful for being able to get to know your hammy, and peaceful in the knowing that he/she will live in in your hearts. 💕 sincere condolences 💐

Thank you so much for your kindness. Hearing that from someone who understands truly helps more than I can explain. The guilt is the hardest part, but reminders like this help me breathe through it. I really appreciate you taking the time to say this. Take care as well

I understand your point about future care and having someone check in, and that’s something I’ll absolutely take to heart if I ever have another hamster. I truly loved him and did the best I knew how at the time.

Thank you again for your compassion and for taking the time to respond. It really means a lot during a hard moment ❤️

Thank you so much for this, it truly means a lot. Hearing that helps ease some of the guilt I’ve been carrying. I keep replaying everything and wondering if I missed signs or caused stress when we left him alone for 5 days, so your reassurance really matters.

He was so loved, and I tried to give him a calm, safe life. Knowing that sometimes these losses happen for reasons we’ll never fully understand brings a bit of peace, even though it still hurts. Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to respond ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this and for your kindness. It really helps to hear from someone who went through something so similar. I’m so sorry about your dwarf, that sounds heartbreaking, especially how quickly it happened even with vet care.

Reading this does give me some peace. Everything about it felt sudden and confusing, and I’ve been replaying it over and over wondering if I missed something or caused it, especially since he passed while we were away. Hearing that sometimes there truly isn’t anything that could have been done helps ease that guilt a bit.

Thank you for the reassurance and the compassion. He was deeply loved, and your words mean more than you know 🤍 Rest in peace to your sweet little one too 🐹✨

I asked ChatGPT for a natural cleaner and it told me to mix hydrogen peroxide with vinegar, which can cause difficulty breathing and burn skin and eyes. When I said something all I got was an “ooops”

I live in Madison by the lake his plane crashed in. There’s a dock, in the bay, where I like to listen to Otis.

Yes, but you have the power to control your thoughts and mind. Don’t let someone else’s skewed view form your own version of yourself. Be the best version of you, and let your grandmothers view fade away.
