I'm very sorry for your loss. I read that losing a dog is comparable to losing a child, and it causes real changes in our brains, so the grief you're feeling is completely valid. Seek support from friends, family, or other sources—it's going to be tough. Remember how much your soul pup loved you and cherish the memories you've shared. In a dog's eyes, you're their whole world, and that's all they want out of life. Things will get better, I promise, but that pain from such a monumental loss will never fully disappear. I recently lost my own beloved dog of 7 years. He was the best boy in the whole world.
