Unlove Advice Needed: Companion for remaining Yorkie

Hi there

I am the proud mommy of Zoë (age 10) and Nuela (age 9). Nuela passed away suddenly 10 days ago.
We are all still shocked and grieving.
My main concern is Zoë at this time:
She is showing obvious signs of stress:
· Losing weight despite eating well (She is tiny - base weight 1.2kg)
· Jittery
· Looking for her sister al the time
· Crying (she has never cried before – not even with shots)
· Lack of energy
· Urinating inside the house

We work during the day – and Zoë & Nuela used to keep each other company.
My questions are:
Should I get a new puppy?
If I decide that we should get a puppy the waiting time at good breeders are 4 – 6 months… Will this not further disrupt Zoë – adjusting to being alone and then adjusting to a new baby.
How does elderly Yorkies respond to new puppies?
Any other advice to help Zoë deal with the loss of her sister

Thanx
