Answer
Hi Shannon,

    So sorry to hear of your loss. Everyone deals with a loss of a pet differently. It will just take time.
    There are so many hamsters out there that need a home, lots of love and kindness. I find that it helps me get over the sadness of losing one hamster by getting another one to share my love with. It helps ease my pain and the ones that I have lost will always be in my heart, as I'm sure Teddy will be in yours.

Thank you for writing and again, so sorry.
