It's hard to let them go when it's time. With Hemmi, I could barely say out loud (or type) that she was gone. 4+ years later, I still tear up thinking about it.

Thank you. Yes, it's sad. I've cried several times over it already. But there's nothing to be done - most pets have far shorter lifespans than humans and you either accept this fact or you never adopt any pets (I know a couple of folks who don't have any for just this reason; they don't want to go through this wringer several times in their life).
I've sometimes gotten tears in my eyes thinking about the pet hamster we had 30 years ago. She only lived about 1,5 years before she succumbed to cancer (hamsters have very short lifespans), but I still remember her clearly.
