Hey everyone, my name is Jordan. I wanted to reach out to anyone who is going through grief, loss, or anticipatory grief for their rabbit companions. I’ve checked with the mods and they were kind enough to give me the go ahead to share this here.
I helped both of my rabbits (Sienna, left, and Spirit, right) complete their lives peacefully on 30th September 2025. After that, I found a great deal of comfort through a bereavement charity in my country, and it made me realise how important having the right kind of support can be. While there are some general pet loss and grief subreddits, I noticed there wasn’t really a dedicated space specifically for rabbits, our big eared, hoppy little friends who have such a massive impact on our lives.
Because of that, I started a small community called r/remembuns. It’s a space for mutual support, remembrance, and sharing grief in whatever way feels right. If you browse it now, you’ll see a lot of poetry from me and a few contributions from others. I want to be very clear that this isn’t “my” space. It’s for everyone. Writing just happens to be how I’ve been processing my own grief, and I shared it because some people reached out to say it helped them.
Everyone is welcome to post as little or as much as they like. Photos, stories, artwork, poetry, memories, or just words you need to get out. There’s no expectation to perform or explain your grief in any particular way.
With Christmas so close, I know this can be an especially difficult time for many people. If you’re struggling, I just want you to know you’re not alone, and you’re very welcome to join us.
Kind regards,
Jordan
