I am so sorry for your loss. Having lost my sweet boy 3 months ago, I know the grief you're feeling. And I don't have another pet (or human child), so getting out of bed barely happened for a couple days. If it wasn't for a deadline at work on Day 3, I'd probably still be there. Even now, most days require lots of extra effort to get started. And as Callie said, "empty" is an apt descrption. It applies to so much . . . the house, your heart, your schedule, even the cupboards, laundry basket, couch, bed, etc. Tonka is nowhere in the house, yet at the same time, everywhere I look. It's nearly unbearable.
My heart goes out to you as you face this difficult time. You obviously loved Jake very much, and you were fortunate to have his final moments be at home, in familiar surroundings, with your voice and touch. Take care.
