It's never easy saying goodbye to the ones we love, but for one little elephant the pain was just unbearable. In this heartbreaking photo taken Friday, a baby elephant named Jumaane, living near Budapest, Hungary, was distraught following the death of his mother. According to reports, the 2-year-old stayed with Yoki for 14 hours after her death, refusing to leave her side and touching her trunk with his own. The elder elephant, who passed away at Nyiregyhaza Animal Park at age 19, had suffered from complications associated with a tumor in her spleen. When zookeepers finally did remove Yoki's body from the elephant enclosure, Jumaane was said to be weeping and looking for his mom. We're sending the little guy lots of love during this tough time.

Leave your condolences for Jumaane below.
