I don't post here often, and for that I'm sorry.
Lucy died earlier yesterday evening. It was unexpected and has devastated our little family. We're adrift like a ship with its belly sundered. I never related much to people, and invested all I have in my animals, and her death has pulled the legs out from under me.
She had been with us for four months. She wasn't even a year old.
I wish I had something good to say. As it is, I'm angry and crushed and I don't know what to do.

I am very sorry for your loss. I am adrift with you as well. I lost my first ferret yesterday as well, and it is harder than I thought it would be. Know that you aren't alone in this, and Lucy wasn't alone either. I think our ferrets found eachother and made the journey to the bridge together. You gave a wonderful, caring home for her...and that means more to Lucy than anything. She will forever be grateful to you. www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&cid=6772620I lit a candle in Lucy's memory.

I am so sorry for your loss. Words can not make the hurt go away right now but know that you gave your little baby a good life and that your little one is Dooking at the bridge now.

Thank you very much for your kind words. The outreach of people and family for me has been really stunning and helping me quickly overcome how bitter I was in the aftermath, and to try and remember Lucy properly, and grieve her in a way she deserves. Thank you.

I can certainly relate to having a ferret die suddenly and unexpectedly. I am so sorry for the loss of Lucy. When my Sams passed away in July unexpectedly from a blockage I was devestated. I didnt know up from down, he was the first ferret that I lost. It took me over a month to muster up the courage to go pick his ashes up from the vet. I can say that it gets better with time, but you will always miss your little one. I wish nothing but healing on you and your little family, and all the best to sweet Lucy as she dooks her way to the rainbow bridge.

I'm so sorry for your loss of little Lucy. I wish there was some magic cure that I could offer you for your heartbreak . The pieces that they take seem irreparable but but they must because we keep loving those that come to us and we keep taking them in. I will light a candle for little Lucy Loo...run, bounce, dook and play little one. You are free. Run swiflty on silent paw...run on to your next great adventure...know that you were loved....know that your are missed....you are another shooting star. I will light a candle for you too...a healing candle. May your memories become sweet and gently replace your grief. Know that our furchildren never truly leave us...they walk as the soft fall of a leaf...their voice the whisper of the wind. Sit still and listen, you will hear their voice, feel the gentle brush of a soft whisker on your neck, see a shadow out of the corner of an eye...know that they are there, they are always with us. ciao
