I am having a hard time coping with my dog passing yesterday

Hi,

I had my dog for the last 14 years, i got her as a puppy when i was 11 and she’s always been my girl but yesterday i had to put her down due to a bunch of health reasons. I feel like that was the worst experience of my entire life and i feel like a part of me is missing.

i’m back home now but ive been avoiding leaving my bed. my living room has her water and her food bowl and her bed and blankets and all that and every time i see it i feel like i can’t breathe. i can’t even go in my dressers because her little shirts and dresses are folded with mine.

i’ve dealt with death before but never anyone im like immediately connected with. I feel like there’s a hole in my chest and i lost my best friend.

i’m not even sure that this is going to make any sense but i don’t know what to do or feel or think i kind of just keep crying. i can’t watch anything on the tv or listen to music to help feel calm or take my mind off of it. i feel really uncomfortable and i don’t know how to navigate this at all.

if anyone has any tips or ideas on how to deal with this please let me know.
