I am very sorry. I am in the same position as you. I lost my sweet little girl, then three weeks later lost our little guy. We expected to see some visible sign of his grief when she was gone, but didn't...until I steamed cleaned the carpets. I steamed her scent away. And for him, then she was gone. I would have kept my carpets dirty for months had I known. In my own grief, I was cleaning my house like crazy, trying to keep busy. I took him everywhere with me so he wouldn't be lonely--even kept him under my desk at work. But two weeks after she passed, he lost his will to live and I too watched him die before my eyes. He stopped eating, developed pancreatitis, was hospitalized for 4 days. I was to pick him up to bring him home the next morning. At 11pm my vet called and told me to come immediately as he had taken a bad turn. We were able to get there but when we saw his condition, I asked my vet to do it very quickly. He was hemmoraging internally and in so much pain I couldn't stand it. It has been months, and I am did start healing about 3 months later... but I know.
