Aw, man. I have been through what you are going through. It's never easy to lose a member of your family.

I had a hand-raised baby kitty (my favorite) get run over by a car. And I held her little body in my hands, and I wondered "What is life, anyway?" I was unable to deal with the concept of death, at that moment.

I also had a male chow (also hand-raised) that I found dead, in the yard, next to a dead snake. He passed away in EPIC BATTLE, and he took the life of his enemy as well, protecting the territory he was sworn to protect.

Looking back on these events now, it makes me think how caring for these little things is a prerequisite to eventually having little human babies of your own. Just imagine... you'll have that experience someday. And you'll say "This is the love of my life. This is the reason I exist."

This is life. You love, you lose. But there is more and greater love for you to experience. We all share these things. We are all the same.

I'm sorry for your loss.
