Hi Verger
So sorry to hear of your loss. I know exactly what you mean about the
trauma of losing these gorgeous little creatures and experiencing it
so deeply. It's almost a year since I Iost mine and I can't bring
myself to replace them. There is a saying: 'it's better to have loved
and lost, than to have never loved at all'. Time is a great healer and
you will eventually find it in your heart to have some more piggies.
All the best
Heather
