How long does it take to get over pets dying? I feel like they are the only true unconditional love.

Sorry to hear that mona. This happened just now?
It really isn't any different than losing a family member if you were really close to your dog. Sounds like you were. Most people won't be supportive of you, so do expect that. They will uncompassionately say, "it's just a dog." Your best bet is to contact Pet Loss Support at your local animal shelter. The bigger shelters usually offer this.
