  When my girlfriend lost her mom to cancer back in 2012, she got so depressed that I feared for the worst. I took her to a psychiatrist who advised her to find a hobby. After weeks of struggling through different activities, I advised her to try getting a pet. She got a parrot and named her Lady Jeey.

   

  The pet brought her so much happiness that she would take her whereever she went, even at work. I'm happy to report that the parrot helped my girlfriend to get over her mom's death. Unfortunately, Lady Jeey passed on last year in February after a short illness. We miss you Lady Jeey.

  Oh my. I was really excited about this story in the beginning. Pets indeed make perfect friends and companions. They can make us get over heartbreaks, over loss and anything else that really puts us down. When i first got a pet, i had broken up with my boyfriend. It also helped me through that phase. I do not know what to say if this pal is now gone. I am really sorry for her loss. :( I hope she can go on with life, perhaps get another pet. That would really help.

  I am so sorry to hear that you have lost Lady Jeey. She sounds like she was a wonderful bird who did so much to help your girlfriend. Her death must have come as quite a shock to the both of you. My sincerest condolences. I know how hard it is to lose an animal companion. I hope the memories of your time together are a comfort to you in your loss. It is never easy letting go. I hope your girlfriend is okay now.

  What a bittersweet story. I'm so sorry to hear of Lady Jeey's passing.
  It is so wonderful to hear though that she was able to bring hope to one who was feeling so hopeless.
  I hope your girlfriend is doing better these days and is finding strength in coping with the loss of Lady Jeey.
  My sincerest condolences to the both of you.
