['My dog, which I had for about 15 years passed away last week. I miss her so much. My home feels empty without her around.', 'That is so sad. I am sorry. Losing a pet is so hard. They are family.', "That's spot on, she felt like a family member. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to have another pet."]
I know the feeling. The thought of replacing them seems impossible. Only time will tell if you are ever ready for another.
My dog passed away last week from old age and I've been really missing him. I don't think I can ever have another pet.
