I am sorry for your loss, and I promise it does get “better” after a while.

Just as my elder and seldom wise cousin once said: When you lose a pet or a girlfriend there is no better prescription than to go out and get a new one.

Harbor the great times, relieve yourself of the bad, and keep smiling, IT DOES GET BETTER.
