My deepest sympathy and condolences, he looks like an absolute cutie. I'm sure you gave him the life you could and part of that was putting him down before he was in real pain, and (whether or not you believe in the afterlife) he's not suffering anymore. Take solace in the fact that the pain won't last forever, the wound of his passing is fresh so of course it's going to hurt bad but you'll get through it because he isn't really gone, he'll always be there in your heart.

>how do you cope?

Felt like shit for a while, scrounged up all the pictures I could find and made a little collage, planning to light a candle on the one year anniversary of her death.

My lab of 13 years had a sudden grand mal seizure many years ago. We tried to help him recover but his brain swelling was too severe so we let him go. It was a violent; he hallucinated from the swelling and my last memories of him were him howling the loneliest howl, as if calling out to us for help. I felt like he thought he was dying alone even though we were all there. I was numb from shock. It didn't hit me until almost a year later and I cried and cried.

The thing that helped was writing out my favorite memories of him, like the day we first got him, when he protected me from two home invasions when I was home alone as a teenager, when he would bring his leash to house guests to take him for walks, when he would catch cockroaches and roll on them until they died.

Writing helped more than anything.

My chow is 16 years old now and I'm preparing now. Writing a poem about her and taking many, many pictures. Hope the pain heals for you, OP. They are too pure for this world.
