I'm so sorry about your dog. Pets really are other members of our families and all the grieving steps that we have to go through are the same for people of pets we lose. Although I already had a dog, I looked over the internet for months for my therapy pet. While I rarely laugh any more, she usually can make me laugh with her antics, she's my bed partner making me feel not so alone at time, and suffers to let me cry while I hold her. Yes, of course, emotional trauma will impact the physicial both positive and negative. I hope that you get through this new crisis your body will adjust and you'll start feeling better.
