So sorry to hear this, I am also sorry my reply is late.
I wish you comfort as time passes, grieving is really hard, but is natural thing we all sooner or later will experience, and there is no set time limit as to when a person should or should not grieve. This affects people in so many different ways, as I am learning by the loss of my dad, I get days it seemed like it was just yesterday and I will get weepy, then days I can laugh to myself remembering his sayings and even his "put downs" at us kids.
I hate when ignorant people say, "you have to get over it", there is no easy way and I tell people that say that to me off (I can get rather snippy, as we all know) when you love someone and know them most of your life, even our pets, you just don't "get over it" 1-2-3, it takes time.
I wish I could remember the person here that told me that this becomes something, losing someone, a thing we just accept in time, but never means you don't miss that special person or pet, some how life and time helps us to carry on.
Okay, I yacked your ear off enough, but want you to know that I feel for you. . .it is tough.
