I had the exact same feelings when I lost my dog to cancer almost a year ago. I think with the complete range of intense emotions you go through when your pet is nearing the end, it's just tough to process anything rational/logical and nothing really makes sense.
Thankfully it does eventually get easier, but it's such a powerful bond and it will take you a while to get used to your place without her. There will be "her" places where you'll absent mindedly check for a long time and it'll probably be another kick in the balls every time... hell a year later and I still get choked up about my dog from time to time.
CP really is full of a lot of animal loving sucks that have gone through similar experiences... I hate this thread getting bumped but it's therapeutic for sure.
