My deepest sympathies to Elvira and also Tru Brit for their recent losses. As some of you may know, I lost my sweet Andie just 3 weeks ago today, so I can fully understand what you are both going through.
Mark bought me a book that has helped me very much to cope with Andie's passing. It deals with all stages of grief, and just really emphasizes that what I'm feeling and going through emotionally are completely normal and justified: Grieving the Death of a Pet by Betty J. Carmack
Take the time you need to grieve. Don't let anyone tell you they were "just pets" -- they were more than that. You loved them and they loved you; it doesn't matter what species they were.
