I know that something tragic like this takes a long time to get over. It just sucks. I want him back. I want to pet him and snuggle him. Smell his fur.

There's nothing wrong with showing your emotions... it's human and it shows compassion and that you had a deep love for another living thing.

Death is such a hard thing to deal with. I lost my Bear in July, Taz in August, and then my former foster Mac passed away right before Christmas. It's been an overwhelming year, and I cry more than I smile, that's for sure. I know that one day I will feel better, but it will take time, and it's something you can't rush.
