Oh my goodness - my heart bleeds for you.....

I'm afraid it's just time - lots and lots of time.

I've certainly been there myself, quite a few times, as have many others here. There is no quick fix solution.

Everybody suggested to me that we "replace" our Rosie labrador...I waited almost 3 years before I could embrace that idea. And then we didn't "replace" her...we chose a totally different breed, and a boy instead of a girl, and we made more room in our hearts for our little Harry who deserves all the love and attention and care we have to give.

It's still extremely early days for you, and you need to grieve. In time, you will look back on all the wonderful years you shared and remember them with joy - rather than tears....that time will come.

Opinions differ enormously on this - I have known people who have brought a new puppy into their homes and it's been the best therapy. Others have ended up even resenting the new pup, which in itself is unfair....

I would also like to welcome you to YT - I'm so sorry it's under such dreadful circumstances, but we look forward to getting to know you....Sally + Harry x
