I'm sorry Mick.

It is so painful to lose the unconditional love along with the pet, it can feel overwhelming.

Take time to feel the loss and grieve.

Maybe you can do something special Mike, that your precious pet would have understood.
Like take a long walk where you went to remember him/her. Or you could mark the special place they liked with some flower seeds, and grow something there.

Feel better soon,
With Love,
Nightbird
