You need time to grieve, so don't try to shut him out of your life, think of all the love you shared and how he used to cheer you up. Let yourself cry, it's healing.
Don't think of replacing him, think of it as giving another pet a chance of a wonderful home. It takes a special person to be able to give that much love, it would be shame to deprive another animal of a chance of sharing it with you. When you're ready, think about it?
I hope that helps and the best of luck to you. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
