madgardener beside herself with grief

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I know how awful it is to lose a
companion animal. The sudden nature of the problem compounds the grief.
I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you and has left you with lots of
good memories. Try not to focus on the last hours of her life, but on the
years of happiness you had together. It will take some time to work through
the grief. Take care of yourself.
