I'm extremely sorry to hear that Sarah.
I went through the same thing with my cat a couple of years ago. It was, in all honesty, the saddest loss i experienced (My grandfather died when i was young and i didn't really understand the implications of it). I had my cat since i was like 10 or 11. We had been through so much together. She was my little fluffy companion when I was bored...my comfort when times were bad...and my friend when things were good. It sounds bizarre talking that way about a cat but she really was. I grew up with her...travelled from house to house...she was one of the few permanent things in my life that i could always count on.
When she died i was soooo depressed, for like a week. One thing that i found helped me a great deal is writing out a little ode to her. I described all the things i loved about her...some of the highlights, etc. That helped tremendously and i will always cherish that piece of writing.
It's a terrible thing to lose something you love. But though it sounds cliche, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have had her at all. Good luck, Sarah...and my sympathies.
