Here's some advice: Back a while ago, my father died of a heart attack. I was the one that found him. Not gonna go into details.

But what to do if you are ever thinking about your dog or missing him, that's fine, let it all out, mourn your dog, take your time with recovery. However, do not make your entire life about it. I lost 12 pounds from crying when my dad died. I couldn't eat because my stomach hurt too much. Do not commit to depriving yourself. Also do not try to shove other things in place into a dog filled spot in your heart. By that, don't try to take up a new hobby or depend on someone to make you feel better, as that will make your life even hard when your release is not reachable. Truly, keep your dog in your heart. After about a month, you will feel a bit better, but of course, not great. It will take some time. But life still goes on. You do eventually get used to not having your pet. Of course, don't forget about them.
