Hi Vicki
Bless you and sorry for your loss.
Dealing with grief is a very personal thing. You could try the homeopathic remedy Ignatia which is good for grief. Whenever I have lost a pet, an abandoned kitty turns up needing some care and attention. One never replaces the other and I remember all of my departed friends individually as no 2 are ever the same but, caring for a needy little bundle of fluff seems to help shift the focus. Sometimes I think that the one that just left sends the orphans to me.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Vicki - it's so sad to lose a friend. You gave him a wonderful life.
It's early days yet - your grief is natural. Be kind to yourself - cry, get angry, bring out pictures of him and let yourself grieve fully and freely. Don't judge, just be for a while.

Oh Vicki, such a sad time for you, it took me months to get over the death of our pet a lovely dog called Benji, swore we would never get another as the pain was so great, we did though and Gucci is now 11 and just like any other member of the family, loved and cherished. There was an article in the YOU magazine of last Sunday's newspaper where someone said they literally grieved for a whole year. That is a good suggestion from Annax, I wish you well. x
Deeply sorry to hear of your loss of jaspy :hug:
He was a beautiful boy.
Vicki, It's so hard when you loose a beloved pet.
Coping is difficult while it is so raw.
I have planted bushes and bought garden ornaments for the fur babies I have loved and lost.
Be gentle with yourself.
thank you everyone for your kind words.
