First let me say it's normal. Oh, so normal. But second let me say that I bet your son is feeling so guilty right now he's as traumatized as you are. Having our beloved pets is part of life's learning experience for us all. Helping him get through it will help you too. Forgive. Pain lessens with time, but only with time. I bet your son will be the best of dog owners after this, when he decides to have a pet. They are like our children, but they are not our children. As precious to us, but in a different way. I feel for you so much, but grieve together, and let it be - it was your pups time for some reason.
