I read your post last night and cried for you and as I write this my eyes are once again filled with tears…
Just know how sorry I am for your loss.

…I wear a paw print locket around my neck that holds some of her ashes…
That is very sweet. Brindy will always be close to your heart. Readers may like to know they can find a selection of similar pet memorial lockets and receptacle pendants in the Tripawds Gifts blog, and on the Remembrance page.
…questioning everything now…all the "what ifs"
Forget What and tell If to take a hike! You gave Brindy a wonderful life, and releasing her from her broken body was a beautiful gift for all she gave you over the years.
As much as it still hurts to not be able to rub Jerry's ears anymore, knowing that he will always be with me in spirit has helped ease the pain. Take your time to grieve, and don't feel guilty for smiling about the good times you shared together.
Peace.

OfflineI am sorry you are feeling like a basket case, but no, you are not alone. Brindy was part of your family – it is totally normal to grieve for your family member. Don't beat yourself up, and let your tears flow. But also try to remember Brindy's life, her story, the funny things she used to do, the way she held her head, and the lessons she left with you. I know it is really hard, but there is so much more to Brindy than her last day – she was a vibrant spirit and that spirit is still part of your life even if she is no longer there for you to hold. Grieve for your Brindy, and be gentle with yourself.

OfflineI'm so sorry for your loss. It is normal to feel like a basket case (I sure did!) It seemed to help me to talk about Sadie to everyone that would listen. I started with people that I felt comfortable crying in front of, then co-workers, customers, etc. When anyone asked about her, I would tell them how wonderful and brave she was, and how happy she made me. It's still hard for me to talk about her last day, but knowing that Sadie still had all her "Sadieness" when she left us makes it a little easier. Just as Brindy left on her own terms.
Hugs,
Lisa
