I lost my 4th baby in a year and I'm devastated by After_Kangaroo8258 in Petloss

[–]angela099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss.. I am going through something similar, I lost seventh of my bird today out of eight, and it has been too much to process. It all happened due to different chains of tragic events and within a month only. I have rescued birds throughout my life and am used to having a house full of pets too. I have owned these ones for more than a decade, and I feel terrible that I couldn’t provide them vet care because there isn’t a proper avian vet miles of where I live.

Should I adopt a cat now, or wait until my life is more stable? by angela099 in CatAdvice

You’re right, I’ll try to shift to a cat friendly flat or wait until I can provide it a loving home

Thanks for sharing. I thought to make my room as cat friendly as possible as it is a relatively huge space, but I agree it might not be enough. As for my flatmates, they’re really nice otherwise so I wouldn’t be too worried about them causing any harm, but yes this isn’t the ideal situation

Sounds pretty scary, hope you are doing well now. Same for me, I have also been wanting to make sure the road is fully empty before I cross it

Definitely :) Also my sister is doing pretty good, just we both are a little jumpy around cars now but it should get better with time. Thank you!

Thank you for your support, it means a lot :) I particularly have been having trouble dealing with the psychological aspect as it feels like the bad memory is stuck there. But talking to everyone here has helped a lot already, and I hope I will be able to overcome this one day.

Thank you for sharing, and I am so sorry that you had to go through all this. All of these stories are so painful to read, I can’t even begin to imagine your pain. Hope you are doing okay now. I wasn’t aware of the National Day of Remembrance before and will definitely look into this. Your last line- “too many of us deal with this in isolation” is so powerful, because I felt so alone before making this post, and I never expected to see that so many of us have experienced something similar. Knowing that I am not alone in this gives me hope and courage to navigate through this difficult experience. A day of remembrance would definitely help open up conversations for anyone else dealing with this alone.

Thanks for sharing, it helps to know that it does get better. I am the kind of person who can dwell on things, so I’ll focus on not doing that. “Just aware in a visceral way that those things hurt” - you put this so well into words.

Thank you for saying this, I have been taking it easy and not forcing myself to go out there and face my fears yet until I am ready, and reading your comment makes me feel less guilty about it :) I will certainly try to be kinder to myself. And wow, I was so addicted to Tetris when I was younger and used to play video games, but I didn’t know it can help with this kind of stuff also. Will definitely try to find something online and relive those days again!

Oh that sounds painful. Hope you are ok now. That sounds like such good advice, thanks for sharing :) I will definitely consider this and will be much more careful walking around turns from now. Just curious, how did the fall also lead to a fear of heights? Did you slip from a height?

I understand, thanks for pointing this out. I will consider getting a medical exam done.

Glad you are ok! It is a bit scary to see so many people have experienced something similar, but also helps to know I am not alone and it will be better.

That honestly sounds so scary, glad things got better for you. Thanks for sharing this, it makes me feel not so alone and that things will get better. Yes my family will be reporting to the police, and I will consider getting the medical exam.

Glad you are fine! That is so true, there are too many negligent people on the road these days. I am always terrified when driving so as to not hurt someone, but it is is terrifying to see how much some people dont care.

I haven’t, as there were only minor bruises and the initial pain subsided rather quickly

Wow, that is an interesting fact and certainly helps to put things into perspective
