[QUOTE="AHBD, post: 2032472, member: 40059"] Wow, this is very distressing to read and I send the biggest heartfelt condolences as I sense the sheer unshakable grief you are going through. I too have lost bearded dragons in the past as well as dogs, cats, a cockatiel, firebelly toad but worst of all my mom then my dad. I can say that in many of these traumas things were a blur and thinking ability goes out the window. Sometimes well meaning offers of sympathy + comfort from strangers and even people who love you sound hollow, useless, etc. Grief is different for all of us.....self blame is destructive though. Nothing that you did likely attributed to Lenny's death. Beardies CAN suddenly pass from unknown heart ailments, stroke, cancer and other things. My guess is heart attack, a painless one that just stopped him right where he lay. He didn't suffer and if he had his way, he wouldn't want you to suffer now or to wonder what you might have done wrong. There is no way that you would have knowingly or neglectfully caused Lenny's death. Please, please,please take your guilt out of the already unbearable sadness of this loss. You were no doubt a wonderful owner and your family loved Lenny but they also love you. Grieving is normal but you have a family, children who will grieve more as they see how shattered you are so try to be strong for them. Kids can be confused by a parent being so traumatized that the rest of family affairs are nearly shut down. They don't want to see you crumble or to blame yourself. The kids need you now , try to be strong [ I know it sounds hollow ] even though there is grief and set the example for them not to be too devastated. It sounds like you have a sweet family, you can and will get through this. I wish peace for your whole family.🌹🌺🌸 [/QUOTE]
