My wonderful dog Jewel was run over, the man stopped immediately and all most started crying. She died in my arms on the way to the vet. I know what you and your aunt are feeling. No matter how much you cry and pray, he will not come back in real form, but I have found Jewel in many other ways, as you will with Yoda.

R.I.P. Yoda, you have left too soon, please, keep an eye out on your family.

I hope that this helps your grieving,
Steph and Jes
