I am so sorry that she passed and for the hole that it has opened in you and your life. I understand what you are going through because I have been there too and am very much distraught about her passing myself. I am right back to square one everytime I allow myself to think of her and the things that she endured in the time that I have known of her.
Between the Rescue's FB page, my own, the adopted Parronts page for the rescue, the Crazy Bird Lady page, I'm forgetting what I've posted where, so I amy have already said this, but both Sunday and Monday, I did tell her that if she had had enough, if it was too much, then it was okay to go. I know she was tired.
I am 50 years old, I have lost parents, grandparents, dogs, cats, birds. Given my job, I have had many people, old, young, etc, die in front of me, even in my arms, but this has hit me harder than I expected. I knew Tanya was sick when I adopted her. It doesn't matter. She was so sweet, and so special, and her life was tragic, yet she was as sweet and as tolerant as any bird ever could be.
