I too am so sorry for the loss of your soul mate. My hubby and I were having one of those frank discussions today about what I need to do if he passes before I do, and it dissolved me into tears. He is my soul mate, and I have no idea what I would do... therefore I grieve for you upon the loss of the love of your life.
Your pups will need time to grieve, just as you do. Time does heal all wounds, though at this time you probably feel yours will never truly heal, but will hurt a bit less as time goes by.
I wish you all the best. Take care, and please give those pups some hugs from me.
