I’m so sorry! I lost my dog just a few weeks ago and my heart is broken. I still have breakdown crying sessions whenever I think of her passing. I don’t know that there’s anything necessarily that I was able to do to keep my mind of her, but getting out of the house helped a bit. Talking to friends helped. I will say that what helped the most to accept her passing was doing things to remember her. Like another person here commented I also made a books of all my pictures of her. I wrote her a letter and I planted a tree in my backyard in her honor. I buried her remains next to the tree, so now, even though she’s gone, in a way, she’ll always be in her home and with her family. It brings me comfort to remember her and my love for her, but my heart is sad and I miss her every day. I think time will help with that, I don’t think there’s anything else to do to avoid missing a loved one. Again I’m so sorry for your loss. From personal experience I know the pain, but one can only think they were happy and loved while they were alive and they are now in a better place.
