Venting Lost my goose

[Mooshi]

So, I just found that my baby goose died.

I know it sounds silly, but I really loved her. I loved her like one of my own. She would follow me around everywhere, she would let me pet her back, and she would snuggle with me... Then earlier today I find out that she was killed by a coyote.

I wanted to watch her grow up, to chase things around, steal things of mine, and honk and chase people away, and dress her up in cute goose sweaters. But looks like that isn't happening anymore.

I want to cry, I did a little bit, but I'm just so apathetic I don't really know how to feel. I don't want to accept it, which is the first stage of grief.. haha..

I'm sorry for your loss.

It's okay to let yourself feel sad, angry, or just difficult to accept. It's not silly at all. Though I do I find geese, well most birds terrifying, so I think it's amusing you wanted to see her honk and chase people away.
I'm sorry that you won't get that chance though, and will miss out on the many things you were looking forward to experiencing with her.
What was her name if you don't mind me asking. And honestly, I know it'd help me to have a little memorial for a companion.

I am sorry for your loss too. It is normal to love our animal pets. They make us happy.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

Sorry for your loss. Pets are like family. Sometimes even better.

Yes, for sure.. She was quite the cutie

 

[Mooshi]

I just wish she had died a peaceful death, but unfortunately her last moments were probably filled with fear... I would have traded my life for her's, any day. At least, in the time she was alive, she was happy.

I'm sorry for your loss. Was she imprinted on you? That can be adorable.

Yeah she was, she'd follow me everywhere and whenever I left her alone she'd call for me...

lovely
i too lost my Pycnonotus baby bird Soofi and my crow Charley.
the were with me all the time. i know the connection is pure and deep..
how are you today?

 

[SpottedPanda]

Sorry about your goose. Apricot's a nice name. It's no different to a cat or a dog. And I think the sweater idea is amazing. Have you any plans to maybe adopt another when you're feeling up to it?

Not very great, I've been crying on and off all night. I've never had such a deep connection with an animal before... I'm just so sad I wasn't there to protect her...

I think so, once I've healed from this and I'm feeling better I might. Though, nothing could ever replace her..

you were there for her darling, her parent and partner. but she was taken from you!
you need time to rest mourn and slowly heal.. im sad with you. take care of your self and take it slowly..
when you feel up for it make a goodbye ritual of sorts.. ?
(i constantly hold Scotty my stinky cuddly polar bear under my arm it gives me comfort)

I literally have tears in my eyes. Apricot, what a nice name, what a precious little thing. I love animals so much.

Yeah... I think I will make a goodbye ritual once I feel up to it.. (and aw, your polar bear is adorable. I also have a super fluffy teddy bear named Peanut)

I'm sorry to hear what happened to Apricot. Must be really hard for you since her last moment was frightening. She was an adorable goose.

So sorry. It is not silly at all. Animals are amazing. My cat is my best friend. I have had many cats and a dog over the years. They have been there for me always unlike people.
When they pass it fucking hurts so bad makes me wanna die more.
