How to fill the emptiness left over after the loss of a pet?

This is my first time on this sub, so if this post isn’t something that’s allowed just delete it.

But I lost my best friend 5 days ago. Moe was an 8 year old cavachon, I should have had more time with him. But cancer robbed of us that.

He was my childhood pet, I’m really struggling with his loss. He was born deaf, and the last year of his life he was almost completely blind, so he looked to me for everything. I would carry him everywhere I went, and he’d always sleep with me. I’m not exaggerating when I say he was my best friend, he was with me 24/7 his whole life.

And now he’s just gone. And he’ll never be with me again. I’m not taking it well at all, it left a huge void in my life and now I just feel alone.

How do you fill this? Is adopting another pet the right answer? I miss having something to take care of.

But idk if another dog is the right answer. I feel like I’d want this dog to be exactly like Moe, just as compassionate and cuddly as he was. If the dog isn’t, or is more independent, I don’t think I would care about it.

I’ve also thought getting a small animal as a pet for a little bit, like a reptile or a hedgehog. I’ve had them in the past, and i didn’t bond with them like I did my dog, but maybe it’s better than nothing?
