How do i properly cope with my dog's death?

Oh, honey :S I'm so sorry. I've had four of my dogs die... and it isn't easy. There's no way I can see of properly coping, you'll have to figure it out for yourself, because what eases the pain for me is not what will necessarily ease the pain for you. Cry it out. Crying is a very good way of releasing the pain and stress. First of all, give it time, and find solace that she isn't feeling pain or anything =). Her memory and soul will forever remain in your heart, don't you worry. That's a good thing ;). Perhaps put her bed away and other things that will remind you of her a lot. Only if this doesn't hurt too much, of course. When you're ready, perhaps adopt another dog or pet, to share your love =). No, they aren't replaceable, but loving another creature is an amazing way of helping pain. But make sure you don't compare them. No two dogs are ever the same. This will p with time, and talk about it with your partner. If you're very upset sometimes, make yourself some chamomile tea, it'll calm you. I really hope this helps, and again, I'm so sorry
