So very sorry for your loss. Perhaps a new little one to love would help you with your grief. Just be open if an opportunity presents itself...that's how my Gracie Ruth came so quickly to me after Annie passed. I wasn't sure I wanted another so soon either, but all the pieces just fell into place and it was as though Annie knew I needed Gracie and sent her to me.
Feel free to share stories about your sweet Gertie. I know it helped me to get over the pain and remember the good.
