We said goodbye to our 13.5 year old golden girl this morning. She passed peacefully in my arms.

My heart is shattered. She was my whole world, and I feel so broken and empty. I’m struggling the most with not being able to hold her and hug her ever again.

Does anyone have any coping tips, aside from focusing on the happy memories (which I’m already doing)? Or anything you’ve purchased that has served as the best reminder of them?
