I have no idea how long they grieve...But I can sympathize with you....I have 2 boys(brothers). A couple weeks ago, daughter had spent the day here visiting.....When she started to leave....She asked if she could take one of them with her. That she was lonely without her Maddie who had recently passed(May '07). This was the first time she had even talked about another pet...So I thought well, I will see them daily...And I knew that she would give him the best home ever-after me...So I agreed. She had decided on Barney since they were already close....Well, they were in the car and fixing to back out of the garage. I started crying and went and got him out of the car. I could not let him go.....
So you are a stronger person than I was.....
