I am so sorry for your loss. I have had a pretty rough start to 2013 myself and I am having a hard time feeling like it will ever get better. All I can say to you (as I keep telling myself) is to be strong and carry on. This doesn't mean we don't grieve or hurt, it means that we find comfort and love in those who surround us in order to live life.
I just lost my cat rumbles last night and I am having a tough time ( he was 21, got him for my 4th birthday, do not remember a time without him being here....he was my best friend and not my best). If you need to talk, feel free to pm me anytime. It can be helpful to talk I am finding.
