My ferret Lupo (AKA Big King Scrump) just had a heart attack and died in my arms right now

I'm writing this because if I don't, I'm going to scream and it's half-past midnight and I really don't want to tell the cops I'm screaming at midnight because my ferret died

I just hurt so goddamed much right now

I’m so sorry. If you’re into hugs, I’d hug you rn. I hope their memory serves you in guiding you towards love, connection, and contribution.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm going through it right now too and I don't have an outlet for it. My dog collapsed a few weeks back. Rushed him into surgery. Put myself into massive debt ($15K). I saved his life, but the biopsy came back hemangiosarcoma. He's probably got 8 weeks left at most. I've been numb for weeks while the bill collectors have been calling. He can tell when I'm upset and it stresses him out so I've been doing my best to be happy around him, but knowing he's going to be gone at any time is... tragic.

Put up a go fund me so you can get a mutual aid thing going. Or venmo idk I'm very tech luddite when it comes to modern Fintech.

Here's a bunch of links that may be able to assist. $15k is ridiculous. Hopefully some can renegotiate or be less assholely about it.

I wish i had something i could say something to you to comfort you, it is very difficult to have some one you love pass in your arms

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

I'm really so sorry, Comrade. I'm sure you gave Lupo a great life with you and they loved you very much.

I hope you're able to find some peace.

I'm sorry for you loss. If it is any consolation, I like to look at the short lifespans of pets as the trade off of their companionship. They love and comfort us all their lives and in return we bear the pain of losing them so they don't have to bear the pain of losing us.

meow-hug so sorry for your loss comrade

I'm deeply sorry to hear that, may Lupo rest in peace. cuddle

Losing a pet is very hard, especially in such a visceral way

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

It's always awful when they leave us behind. I'm sorry.

Damnit. Losing a fur baby is one of the worst things.

At least you were there as horrible as it was. Please take some time for yourself.

Lupo had a great guardian. He's with the Lifestream now. May his memories bless you in return. It's going to feel empty as fuck right now, and it will sting with all the reminders. But remember the good. You're strong. You got this. Give the King a Regal send off.

Celebrate the life you had together and how you two were there for each other.

When you are ready to open up for another, may the lifestream guide a worthy one to your path.

Thank you for taking care of Lupo. He was loved and spoiled AF. Looks like he lived a life of comfort and content. You did good. cuddle

I'm so sorry for your loss. I find losing animals way harder than losing people, it's tough. They're the best. Wish I could give a hug

The only fault of our fluffy friends is that they die. Sorry forbl your loss cuddle

Sorry for your loss. If you need some catharsis, screaming into a pillow will make a cop visit substantially less likely. meow-hug

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

This is so sad, I’m so sorry for your loss. Nothing can make this pain lighter. Our little babies are so precious and it’s such a tragedy that their little lives are shorter than our own.

Scream into a pillow and cry as much as you can. It’s ok.

I’m going to give my babies a hug and tell them how much I love them.

That's awful. I'm so sorry.

Wish i had words. Know how it feels, words aren't enough. So upset for you friend.

Solidarity in your sorrow, comrade. meow-hug
