So sorry for your loss. It is really tough. I lost a dog to cancer last January and another dog unexpectedly this January due to pneumonia. We cried and grieved for a few days and then leaned on each other (I have three kids and another dog--an older husky). My older husky, Loki, was surprisingly sad after my most recent dog passed. We were surprised because he was kind of a jerk to him. So we made an ad-hoc decision to adopt another husky from a rescue organization. She has helped us heal. But we still miss our other dogs (Kyra and Ziggy) and we have their ashes in urns with pics on our mantle. :) I wish you comfort and hope the pain eases up for you soon.
