I'm very, very sorry for your loss.
It's particularly hard when it's a much loved bird and one that you have taken so much care of for a period of time. It hurts.
Over the years I have found that the anticipation of the loss is as bad, or sometimes worse, than the actual happening.
Once they are at rest, there is peace. No more suffering, no more pain, no more discomfort. It's the final kindness you can do for them, out of love. As with all grief, time will bring you less pain and more of the good memories. There is nothing wrong with grieving, and there is no right or wrong way.
I have lost birds that I sobbed over, and now I can remember them with a smile. They are all special in their own way.
