Everywhere I look in this house, something reminds me of Picabo and I start welling up again. Her food and water bowls, her favorite sleeping spot by the window - I'm wishing I could turn my mind off at will right now. If I distract myself for a minute, I'll imagine I hear her about to jump up on my lap, or see her out of the corner of my eye. I feel like I'm losing it.
I just want my friend back.

I wish I had a good answer for you. Just reading about your heartbreak makes me cry. Heck, I cry every time I even
think about losing one of my furbabies.
Give yourself time. Losing a pet is losing a part of your family and you deserve to (and need to) grieve. Everything will remind you of her for a while....even things that were not even remotely connected to her.
Thanks for giving her such a great life. You deserved her and she deserved you.
