Ugh that's shit my dude ...sorry to hear that. You gotta try and sit up to go to sleep? I've had shoulder injuries and sitting up with my arm in a sling was the only thing that helped to sleep in the least bit.

Am sorry for your loss.. had a similar situation at end of March with my 15yr old husky/white shepherd/wolf mix- my other half, my baby.

Expect the unexpected, grief will present in it's own way and walking through is the only way out. This does not discount, that sometimes hanging onto the railings is necessary, the waves will churn up and pass in and out.

Putting a special stone in my pocket 24/7 was a suggestion that actually was worth doing.
Making a shrine, and a huge photo album.
I put in a special poppy garden where she used to always lay out in the sun.
Honor your soul.

In the beginning, it was only awful visuals that plagued me; but by making the album of her life and printing out pics of some of the fondest memories we shared, places we went- it helps in seeing her free of the pain and disease, as her young spry self, chasing squirrels and tearing through the clouds.

Another thing that helped me was when I got the notion that the universe 'assigned' a late friend, who also loved her, to collect her upon ascending (you will know when she rises up, you'll feel it). Knowing she isn't alone and is in good company helped soothe.

And when the time comes:
Remember Yourself.

All my deepest condolences and best wishes

Can kinda lay back, on my side, on the couch, but have to make all the pillows and stuff just right to take any weight off it, and not push it any way.

I gave in on the sling because it couldn't get the right angle to stop making things worse after a few hours. The only angle with no pain is straight up/down. If I could sleep standing up it would be fkn awesome.

Had to put my dog down today. She had tumors everywhere and some of them had to be cancerous. Woke up to her shitting blood this morning. In a big fuck the world kind of mood.

that's a very sad thing to have to do,
I've had to go through it too...
if it's any solace, she's with you in spirit!
Our cat, the day after he died - painted a picture of himself on the side of our bed using dust - it stayed there for months
