It's been around a year now since my pet parrot passed away but I still feel extremely sad and cry sometimes when I think of her. Nearly everything reminds me of her and I miss her alot, she was like my baby and I feel terrible.

I always get sad when events or holidays come around because I think if she wasn't gone she would be enjoying the holiday with me or when I watch a TV show that she would of liked to watch with me.

Sometimes I think about killing myself to get a chance to see her again. (Not really religious, but I believe in some sort of afterlife)

I just can't stand to live without her, nothing is the same and I just want my baby back :'(

    Probably not the time to say this, but at first I read "parrot" as "carrot" and I was a bit confused to say the least.

    But anywayyyy - it's completely normal and expected to mourn the death of a pet. It'll probably take a long while for this not to consume your mind so much as it seems you were really close - but as you probably already know, suicide isn't going to solve anything. There's no step-by-step solution to how to "get over this", but you could start by distracting yourself. Get new hobbies, go out, etc. And maybe eventually you could get a new pet. But regardless if you do or not, I think the only way for this to pass is to just wait it out, sadly.

    I still think about my cat 6 months later. Was sadder at that moment then I've been my entire life.
