want to thank everyone

[Gina83]

I wanted to thank everyone for listening and comforting me in my grief. There wasn't anyone here I felt understood what I was going through. Having Apollo(my beautiful orange wing amazon)since I was 9 years old, I can't remember really being without her. I am having a lot of first times without her; first time going to the store and passing the produce isle, first time making a salad, every time I hear the theme to The Golden Girls I cry because we would watch that together, this will be the first holidays without her. Everything was so second nature, every 25 minutes I'm wanting to check and see if she needs something. I never thought I was going to have a child, when I gave birth in Jan I got excited because I thought my daughter was going to grow up with Apollo like I did and if anything were to happen to me my daughter could take care of her. A couple days ago I got on youtube and watched videos on orange wing amazons but I had to stop because it was making it worse. Again thank you for listening

I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain you're still going through. It takes time to recover from such a huge loss, so many reminders, we miss them in a million ways. In time all your beautiful memories of the years you had together will comfort you. Hugs.

AWWW we are all here to listen. A lot of us have gone thru what you have...cats,dogs,birds. It's never easy. My Amazon died this year on Mother's Day and I still look behind me when I'm cooking and I still want to portion his favorite foods in his bowl. Love and feathered hugs.

I never had an animal as long as I did Apollo. I have noticed that my other animals have grieved right along with me, my oldest cat that is 13 went and hid in the back bedroom under the bed and she has never done that, and another cat I have that has special needs because he has no tail would not leave my side when Apollo passed away. I always said I would never get another parrot(that's because I thought I would have her forever)I can't help but want another amazon
