Katie, we are so very very very sorry. Your sorrow and shock are just too immense for words right now. Please know our thoughts and strength are with you.
It's not easy. In fact, learning to cope with the loss of a loved one is probably one of the most difficult things we have to deal with in life. I'm so sorry you lost Tinkerbell. Trust me, it will begin to hurt less - just give yourself some time.
There's no doubt in my mind that she knows how much you love her, and how much you miss her. You may feel her lick the tears away as you cry. She's still with you, in your heart and with you from the Bridge where she watches and loves you still and always.
