Pooper is gone

4. Non-pet owners have a very hard time imagining how intense the pain, but few of us here do not...

Best thing I can think of to get through this period with that very empty hole in your heart is to focus on your good memories and get outside (if weather allows) to walk or at least experience some sun and nature. Long walks in areas where there are no people-- also lets you vent, cry, and laugh when a happier memory comes through. Very supportive, cathartic, and ultimately healing if only over considerable time.
