person A: Losing your family pet after 10 years is one of the hardest things I have had to do
person B: Oh no.  I am so sorry.  I have been there and its devastating.  How is everyone doing?
person A: We are ok but I am not sure I can recover
person B: It will take time.  Allow yourself to grieve and also doing something to remember your pet can help give closure.  Take care and take a day at a time.
