Cindy hit the nail on the head. It's just an awful time and we have to go through it to be able to cope, eventually. When Calliope had to go, I just kept telling myself that in spite of the horrible pain I was feeling, I'd go through it all again because the joy I got from having her in my life was so worth it. I also kept picturing her romping around and being free from pain and health problems. I tried not to focus on what happened to cause her to leave. I still get pain thinking about it, but I can deal with it, better, as time has passed.
I wish we could make the pain go away, but when we love so much, the pain is part of the process. I thought about that, too. In an odd way, it made me feel better because the fact that I was so upset validated how much I loved Calliope and with that much pain, I know how strong my love was and that she felt it. I probably don't make much sense, but maybe you can unscramble my thoughts, somehow.
