You're not alone! Loosing a pet is devastating. I know, because my beloved dog Max just passed away last week and it seems like the sadness will never go away. It will get better but you will never forget them. I disagree with your statement "you never bonded". YOU DID! Maybe you don't realize it but you did. Don't be too hard on yourself, you loved that dog just as much as anybody in your family because you made the right decision when it you had to. I never knew how much my husband loved Max until the end. You bonded with that little guy more than you know. My thoughts are with you. Take care.
