There's nothing you can do to prepare yourself or really help the pain of losing a beloved family member but getting through it hour by hour until time begins to help lessen the hurting. Talking it out, venting your feelings with those who understand, telling about him and his life with you, faith and Father Time are really the only things that seem to help such anguish and loss. I know Felix had the joy of a good dog's life despite his medical problems while he was with you and you will always have that time in your heart to hang onto. I'm so sorry little Felix had to go and can imagine the hole left in your life. R.I.P., little one.
