Sorry to hear about your dog.
Dogs are family, and I know how hard it is to see your dog in pain and/or not feeling well.
I'll try to break things down into do-able tasks. I'm actually pretty bad at doing that, which is funny because my boss always makes sure that we break down a large task into smaller, do-able tasks. While the main task may not be finished for a while, the smaller tasks must be completed within 2 weeks.
I don't know why I can't apply this to real life! Silly me

Yeah, the grief is really hard. I lost my grandfather 1.5 weeks ago, so I know that bereavement is really hard. The funeral planning is soooo exhausting and overwhelming because it's something you have to do at the last minute.
I couldn't even look at my grandfather during the wake. As much as I loved him, I didn't want to do it. It was too much for me to handle with all the stress. So, I very much understand if you're uncomfortable.
I hope you're able to cope with all the stress. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss.
