I’m so sorry for your loss of Bruce. But you did everything you could and you gave him a loving home and a shot at a better life that he otherwise would never have had. I know it’s hard and it sucks but please don’t hate, Bruce knew real love and care because of you!
Upon the loss of an Amazon, we accept another into our life. They are a very select group of Amazons best defined as yesterdays trash as they are commonly very sick, old to very old, and abused. They have no want to be around another Human.
From this deep hole, in combination with the support of our Avian Professional, we work hard to regain their health. All the while, we provide a blanket of Love that surrounds them.
We loose the health battle far too early and it always chews away at our hearts. It hurts and the pain of their loss overwhelms.
It is hard not to hate... But in their spirit, we choose not to hate. We rejoice in our providing them the single thing they needed the most, the comfort and knowledge of being Loved. When they crossed over, they proceeded knowing they had past in the hands of those who loved them deeply. Despite their pasting, each knew their last experience was a Loving one.
There is reason to hate those who should have cared far more, should have done far more, should have been more far more 'human.' But, that only steals from our Loving them.
Leave the hate behind, it only steals from your Love of Bruce. As odd as it may sound; Rejoice in being able to Love a very special spirit. A spirit that has secretly increased the Loving size of our Heart...
