Nigel - sobbing like crazy

Apologies if I am out of line here, but it took me a few days to get out of stupor, after seeing Gardeners World last Sunday morning and suddenly hearing that Nigel had passed away. I lost my 'Nigel' not long ago, and I am still grieving up to the point that I still cry on a daily basis. Nigel was part of my life, much like Monty Don, and knowing that he will no longer be there hurts a lot.
Of course, I cannot go to Monty Don and say how much I will miss Nigel or that I know how he feels. I just wish I could erase the kind of hurt I am sure he is feeling. 
Sorry to share this here. But I will miss Nigel forever and I am quite angry at the world for now.

    I agree, it's a very sad time isn't it?  Only a pet owner/animal lover will appreciate what a Nigel sized hole is left in their heart.  The other day Marley and me was on telly and I bawled like a baby despite having read the book (much more detail than the film) and the seeing the film a second time recently.
    I have decided not to have any more pets.  Firstly because I live alone and work full time and secondly because I cannot bear the thought of having to experience the death of another much loved friend, companion, family member etc.
    Nigel helped Monty through some dark times and made himself an unexpected star of the show!

    I had decided not to have any more babies, because ... well, I should not. I got so frail due to the death of my beloved baby that I ended up very ill. I simply am not coping with the loss of dogs because they mean so much.
    But here comes my daughter with another baby and we live in the same house... and I am still and already suffering...
    And that man must be hurting like hell.... not fair, life.
