My daughter had to put her bunny to sleep today. 😔 She is broken hearted. What words will help if any? Or is it only time that heals?

I am so sorry. Putting an animal to sleep is one of the hardest and one of the kindest things to do. It takes putting your beloved pet's well being and comfort above your desire to hold them. There is no doubt that time is going to be their biggest help in dealing with the loss.

I have had to put one dog down. I knew it was coming, so that helped prepare me. But afterwards the thing that helped me most was talking about the silly things he did. I was laughing and crying at the same time. So maybe have everyone talk about their favorite memories. 

Another is to look for signs that the bunny may send to let her now it is ok. Some people say seeing a cardinal is a sign of a some who has passed is checking in. Or maybe if the bunny liked munching on dandelions, one pops up . You know something that would be special to the bunny. The night after I had to put my boy Thor to sleep, Arabella and I were in bed and she started snoring. She NEVER snores. Thor ALWAYS snored. I knew that a sign that Thor was ok.

Hugs to you and your family.

Awe I'm so sorry!:(

Lots of good advice here already Yin. I found only time helps and letting them talk. Hugs to all.

I'm sorry Yin. Give her a big hug and let her know her bunny is not in pain anymore.

I m so sorry for your loss.

Just tell her how much u love her, and u know how much she loved bunny. It would help for her to know that bunny loved her and showed this love by not being afraid.

Remind her of all the cute things bunny would do.

Mention how u feel abt bunnys loss.

After that, it will take a lot of time.

Find ppl who have also had to put their animal down. You love them all, regardless of wether its a cat, a dog, a horse or a bunny.

Here comes peter cotton tail hopping down the bunny trail. Im so bunny for a lost bunny.

No real advice, just a hug to pass along to her.  So sorry, Yin!

Awww, just tell her that the bunny would thank her for not letting it suffer in pain anymore. That is sad :(

I'm so sorry for everyone's loss. He sounds like he was a cherished member.

Hippy game me great advice once when he talked about a little family memorial service. Have a little service for him with all who loved him so, talk about him, maybe eat his favorite human foods. Have the kids friends come over if they have some memory to talk about and want to. Maybe a little memorial out in the backyard. A stone or a special rock. Whatever speaks to your daughter. Just throwing out some suggestions. Everyone has their own ideas on those rituals. A celebration of his life and the joy he brought you and your daughter,, a little acknowledgement, a respectful tribute to a critter who brought your family all that he did.

Hugs to you and your family, Yin.

You've already have some good advice.

Personally, I think every pet is the pet of an angel---and after they die they go back and play with he other pets and their angels until we get there to play with them again.
