It's Over, R.I.P my faithful friend Options

It's over, my Buddy is @ rest now, what an awful to go thru, but I hve and I'm still here.
It hasn't sunk in yet, i'm just numb....had myself a large nip of Bailey's in my coffee a while ago & eaten chocolate, I couldn't think of anything else to do.
I got chocolate for the kids too, but no one really wants to eat.... I cant believe he has gone, I just want to go outside & check to see, but I'm not just yet.....my son has gone off to football training & i'm going to take one of my daughters to choir, she is singing in the choir @ our local church tonight. My eldest daughter who is 12yrs is staying @ hme with me, she is very upset a bit angry @ the world in general....sigh...... i can't believe i've done what I've just done.....

I am so distraught now after losing my Callym to cancer that I too can say little except to send you lots of big hugs and warm thoughts. It's been 2 1/2 weeks since Callym left, and while the shock is beginning to leave, a deeper sadness is setting in. Life will never be the same again. I've been lighting a candle every night in his honour since he passed away (I have a wee memorial for him with his ashes, photos, flowers and his collar), and I think I will do this for a month. I am finding this ritual comforting so maybe there is something like this you could do to help you make it through the sad times.
