Ghost,
I am so sorry to hear about this. Please believe me when I say that I do know what you are going through. I've lost a few of my beloved furry friends over the years, and it never gets easier. At the moment, I'm living with the knowledge that my 14 yr. old puppy, and my 15 1/2 yr kitty aren't going to be with me too much longer, and just thinking about it drives me crazy. It's so unfair that they don't live their lives as long as we do.
My niece just recently lost her 16 yr old cat, and I can't tell you any better than I told her : It hurts. It's going to hurt a little less in a few weeks, and a little less in a few months, and a little less in a few years - but it's always going to hurt.
And, like you - the only thing that helps is hoping that they are in a better place.
Take care, and try to remember the good things.
