I normally would be sad when I think about my birds passing on, but it was a fleeting feeling and I got over it quickly. Now, having experienced the sudden loss of my parakeet, Kiki, I am absolutely paralyzed with sadness. It does not let up. I am overcome with the certainty that some day, my remaining parakeet, Pewpew, and my sun conure, Boomer, will no longer be with me. Maybe it will be years from now, from old age. Maybe it will be in a month from something unexpected.
I love them like everyday is their last but this feeling of inevitable loss is way more intense. I can't even concentrate at work. I enjoy my time with my parrots but when this horrible thought comes (which it now often does), I am instantly saddened. Does anyone think about these things? How do you handle it?
