Update:
Very relieved to say that yesterday we took all 4 bunnies to a lovely rescue centre. I touched base with them this morning and they are all eating and drinking fine and are really chilled. Ironically we didn’t realise that H had taken a bunny there a few years ago, so it was really comforting to know that she trusted them to back then.
Thank you for all your love sent. ❤️
I’ve been trying to find the words to write today and I’m not sure they are still the right ones, but these are from my heart.
I received a call early this morning to tell me that one of our longest customers, who I was proud to call a friend, had taken her own life over night. She was young, beautiful, and kind, and adored her rabbits like you wouldn’t believe.
The devastation that I feel is immense and I’m struggling now to write this. I’ve spent most of the day trying to keep busy but it comes in waves.
I’ve been re-reading over all our recent messages from the last month, until the last one most recent. I cannot imagine how her family, and close friends are feeling.
I’m My family send our love and deepest condolences to you all.
The message I want to say is,
please just be kind, supportive and walk in love when you can because no one knows what the next person is going through. Judgment is so easy. It’s easy to bury your head in the sand and just think about your self. It takes just 1 min, to touch base with someone. The small gestures, the kind words, the messages like
‘Hi, how are you doing today?’ Could make a huge difference to that person.
I thought of her most of the day yest, and I forgot to message her as I was so tired.
I will forever regret and feel guilty about that.
Mental health has surrounded me for as long as I can remember, and it’s tough, really tough, and it’s mainly why we have so many animals around us every day here.
What my friend has reminded me today is that no matter how busy you are, just stop, breathe and touch base with eachother.
I have always said to my friends or family, you don’t need to text a reply, just send a emoji so I know you’re ok.
I wish I sent her one last night.
May you rest in peace, and let my mum, Toby, Penny and Fudge, look after you. ❤️🙏🏻
God bless H xx
