Oh, I'm so sorry! Losing a pet really is heartbreaking. It's funny, I usually find myself not wanting to sew after something hard, as I then have too much time to think, and want all the distractions I can find.
I'm sorry you're going through something hard, as am I (I'm just not really willing to put it out there). The fellowship and camaraderie really do help to bring us back up when we're feeling down.
