I'm so sorry! There's almost nothing more painful than losing a pet that you've had for so long, especially when you don't get to say goodbye.
My own personal belief is that they do visit you in your dreams one last time, to let you know that they are better now, that they hold nothing against you, to thank you for the life you've given them, and to give you the chance to make peace with the fact that they are gone. That may sound really corny, but every animal that I've been really close with that I've lost has had that one last visit with me through my dreams. I may dream "about" them more often, but these dreams are different... you are both able to communicate with each other, and you both understand that this is goodbye.
I also believe that pets that you've loved and taken good care of become your guardian angels after they pass away. That's why people who love and are kind to animals tend to live longer, happier lives.
Yes I know I'm a geek, but I like to believe in these things because it makes me feel good to know that our love for animals is rewarding on both ends.
