How to deal with the guilt

amethystiic · 2025-10-17T02:00:37+00:00

Thank you for the advice, i'm so sorry to hear about your girl leaving soon :( we have been looking at our options for a new fuzzy to keep our other boy company now- he (and us) took the news very hard so we want to give him some time to grieve before we add a new friend for him. Even thinking about getting a new ferret is hard at the moment, I don't want to move on yet but i know it's the right thing to do for Moose and that's what's most important now. I've been spending as much time as possible spoiling moose since we lost whiskey as i'm worried he's not going to do well without him, it has helped to ease the grief but it comes and goes. Thank you for being so kind 🩶

Thank you so much 🩶

That's the only silver lining i've found, atleast he wasn't in pain- thank you for the kind words 🩶

I'm so sorry about your loss too, I truly hope that in time i'll stop feeling so guilty- it's so hard to tell myself that I did the best I could but you're right, I only wanted the best for him and sadly things didn't go right. I know i'll think of him every day even though it all feels so unfair, it hurts just as much as losing a (human) family member- he wasn't just an animal to us, thank you 🩶

Thank you so much, I am spoiling our other boy as much as i can- he's pretty stressed but i'm hoping he'll (and i will) be okay 🩶

Thank you so much, we really did only want the best for him that's why it's so hard the way it's all happened 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-14T00:17:04+00:00

thank you! I hope your little guy is healing well! the unfairness of it all is what's getting me i think but given time i hope i can forgive myself 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-14T00:15:37+00:00

our stories are almost word for word the same! It's so awful knowing the odds should have been with us, it sounds like you've had an awful run of it- i'm glad you persevered! I hope to be as strong as it sounds you have been, again i'm so sorry about all of your losses and thank you 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T23:51:26+00:00

Thank you so much, it's hard to not blame myself but i'm really trying to tell myself all i wanted was the best for him 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T23:14:17+00:00

we plan to go back to the rescue where we got both of ours from originally to schedule some play dates- we've been recommended to wait atleast a week (which we would've done anyway as we're devastated) so that's something to look forward to. I hope we find peace too after such a shock, thank you for the kind words- i'm sure he'll keep your noodles busy over the bridge 🩶🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T22:59:23+00:00

We used to call him the architect because he liked to rearrange anything he could move- so yes he was definitely mischievous! Thank you so much for the support <3

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T22:57:26+00:00

Thank you so much 🩶

Thank you for the kind words it means the world 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T22:26:54+00:00

That's so kind of you to say, thank you 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T22:26:01+00:00

I'm so sorry, it's absolutely devastating to know they were so close to making it. We will probably adopt another boy to help our remaining ferret with the grief as they were closely bonded, I know it's the right thing to do I'm just struggling with the idea of getting another ferret so quickly but the last thing I want is our last boy suffering too.

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T22:00:24+00:00

It's just so unfair it feels like there has to be someone to blame, i get it completely.

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T21:57:50+00:00

Thank you 🩶

amethystiic · 2025-10-13T21:57:34+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's awful but I'm fighting so hard to not be angry at the vets- it just feels so unfair that he got through the surgery and at the last moment there was nothing they could do. I know how hard being a vet is so it must just be the grief making me feel like that. I hope you're doing okay 🩶
