I'm genuinely sorry for you Luke, as a pet lover I have been through this a few times. One thing I will say to you though; those memories which are so upsetting now, will eventually become pleasurable. Over time, you will think of your lost pet and the things he used to do, and the memory will warm you and bring a smile, not cause you sadness.

No one we really loved has really 'gone' anyway while ever we carry them in our hearts and minds - animal or human - that's important to remember. He affected your life for the better, enriched it, and you gave him all the love and care possible, and you should console yourself with that as much as you can.

Here's hoping you come to terms with this quickly Luke.
