That is a ton to deal with. I'm so sorry and will definitely do my best to send good vibes your way. Life just has a way of piling it on doesn't it? It'd be so nice if just one thing would happen at a time. You could deal with it then move on to the next. And they are not just animals to some of us. I've had two times in my life that I actually felt when my pet died. I knew it in my heart when it happened. Anyone who tells you "Oh it's just an animal you'll be fine." doesn't understand.
Most of my family is from down south and that is indeed the way we deal. We stay together, are there for each other and bring lots of food. Where my Granddaddy lives we still have the viewing at the home and the family digs the plot themselves. Most people don't understand that. I thought my kin were the last of a forgotten time. I'm surprised that there are others that remember those old traditions.
Once again you have my deepest sympathy for what you are going through. I'm so sorry for what you are dealing with
