When does grief subside?
Hello! My guinea pig died a month ago. I've already bought a new "partner" for my other guinea pig. I'm still sooooo sad. Is it normal to grieve for so long over a guinea pig? My guinea pig was like my best friend, and back then (I was 8 and now I'm 13), I used to tell him secrets. I feel like the grief isn't going away. Like, it's not getting better. Is it even possible to overcome grief? 😥 I've tried to distract myself with the new guinea pig. But when I see my other guinea pig with the new one, I still think so much about my deceased one, and the new one feels like a replacement. 😞 Will this feeling ever get better? Sometimes I'm almost not sad at all, but then suddenly I just want to cry. I hope you can help me…

Hey!
I had to experience it more often. My one, which was really mine by all guinea pigs and everything, died last year. It was with me all seven years, accompanied me through my childhood and then fell asleep peacefully (not sleeped). I didn’t go to school and was sooo infinitely sad, which I am still sometimes. But when I had my new one, I tried to see the positive sides, and I was happy about my new one. I always imagine that my guinea pig in heaven is on a great meadow and enjoys his life there;) (for all guinea pigs). I laugh and look forward to seeing it again sometime. In the autumn of last year, my other things had to be sloped in. At the funeral, I almost didn’t cry and then there are those moments where I looked at photos and where I was just going. But then I look back into heaven and smile:) For me, my guinea pigs have not died so funny that may sound. They’re somewhere else and eventually I’ll see them again.
At some point you find out that they are no longer there, but I still think a lot about them and rather connect them with being happy now, which is why I am:)
My condolences and everything good!

First of all warm condolences.
It is completely normal that you miss a beloved pet and mourn it. And five years have been really long for a guinea pig.
With time, the pain will also diminish and you will be able to laugh again.
It’s normal that the mourning lasts long. I think if your guinea pig is very close to your heart, it is understandable that you are very sad. On the other hand, you can make a lot out of distracting yourself and accepting the grief.
Hello Sophia,
My condolences. It’s like that when my hamster died, so I think it’s normal. Because it’s understandable, because it was very close to your heart. Think of the beautiful time you had together, it had (hopefully) a beautiful life with you 🙂
Many greetings and my sincere condolences,
Lili
That’s hard we’ve been around. 40 years of guinea pigs (I live only for 12 years) but I grew up with those who die, of course, and this is always sad, especially when they were so young. Go to the shelter and spend time with animals. they often make happy. or go to dig your guinea pig and put a letter on it or talk to him.
that helps you to complete
That’s normal, but it’s getting better. My guinea pig had to be slept a month ago. (It had an abscess in the abdomen and scratched. The belly has risen) It’s hard at first, but it gets better. Sure I’m still sad, but I imagine how much better she’s going up there. No pain, no constant veterinarian visits.
Depends on how much you loved.Can you get a new one that you certainly hear a lot,or is just an animal. Humanity is cold.I think that you mourn your animal that you are a human being who has feelings.Behold, animals are more than what is valuable.Trauer is bad both in humans and animals.You want to continue living with them but you prefer to be right?But you don’t have a lot of choice.
Remember the beautiful moments and accept it.
You just have to find out that Nager’s just a short life. Face the facts.
Death is part of life, it is necessary to get rid of it
