How do you adjust to suddenly having a new pet when you didn't expect it?

Our family dog passed in October after 16 years. She's been with us since I was very young, so it was pretty hard for me. At first, my family had agreed to wait for a while before adopting a new pet. Not even a week after her passing my parents had brought a new dog home. She's very sweet and honestly the perfect pet, but even after months I still have moments where I can't stand even looking at her. I feel angry and upset, and also really guilty. What makes it worse for me is she's almost identical to our previous dog, and family constantly calls her our previous dogs name as well (on accident of course, but that doesn't help the situation). What should I do to adjust to this better? It's been a while now but I can't seem to move on from how upset I felt and still somewhat feel. I try to see if from their point of view but it's frustrating when they completely ignored my feelings on the matter.
