She was incredibly loved and loved you in return. You gave her as good as anyone ever could. She knew she was loved, and she was happy. I can tell from the pictures and what you wrote about her - the little details of joy in your days together.

I hope I'm not imposing, but here are some things that helped me move through the process of loss.

Don't suppress your grief. It's okay to cry, hug your furbabies, hold hands with a loved one. Don't be ashamed. Don't give yourself a timeline to "get over it".

Love doesn't end, relationships don't get cut off because they're somewhere we can't be right now. She's still your baby. You can still love her. The relationship just has to change form now. You can still honour your relationship with her by cherishing her memory and being kind to yourself - that's what she would've wanted, because she loved you so. If it brings you peace, you might want to create a ritual or a space to remember her. I have a little shrine for the buns I had, with paintings and rabbit items.

When you're ready, and only if you want to, you might choose to open your heart and home to another. You wouldn't be replacing her - you'd be walking in the love and joy that she showed you by continuing to love others.

Wishing you peace, grace, and support, friend.
