Would KiKi want you to suffer so?
Remember that our pet's only "job" is to make us happy. They hate when we're sad, for any reason. Think of feeling better, and trying to be happy as honoring her life and memory.
This may sound heartless, but a baby chipmunk, or any other pet, will keep you too busy to be sad. And just try being sad around a puppy. I dare you! It's impossible, their little souls are the absolute cure for sadness.
Consider fostering. There are pets in need, and you could use the distraction.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. We have several companion animals & have lost many others, it hurts no matter how old they are. The worst thing about loving animals is that their lives are so short compared to ours, even though they can fit a tremendous amount of living in so brief a time.
Please take care of yourself during this difficult time. Cherish the time & memories you & KiKi have shared & remember that the love is there always.
Since you are obviously a caring person, please consider adopting or fostering someone else when the time seems right. Of course we can never replace those we've lost & we shouldn't try, but you can care for another little one as a new experience & also as a tribute to KiKi.

I've had quite a few pets die too, mostly from people speeding and hitting them. The best thing you can do is move on. Remember the good times, keep pictures/videos, and if you want, maybe get a new pet. Not to replace KiKi, though, because nothing can replace one of your beat friends. Maybe get something different, like a dog, cat or hamster. Never forget the all of the memories and what made KiKi so special.

Animals are such loving, carefree spirits. The enjoyment they get from simple things – the wind in their face, the sun on their backs, a ball or stick or some yarn, your hugs and kisses – is so inspiring. In turn, we benefit from these daily reminders of how precious life is and just how amazing it can be when you let go of tedious stressors and embrace the little things the day has to offer. Our pets seem to know so much more about living life to the fullest than we do. And unfortunately, when they pass away, it’s easy to let that gift go with them. But that is no way to pay tribute to the life they led.

i replaced into interior an same situation over a 365 days in the past. My canine were sick for a pair days and suddenly, she couldn't walk and does no longer drink any water. We tried to hurry her to the emergency vets workplace, yet she handed on the rigidity there. i replaced into heart damaged. She replaced into my perfect pal and that i did not assume that in any respect. What sucked replaced into that I had to pass to band camp the subsequent day and face the international with the worst facade ever. i got here upon that it helped to flee. I went to stay with my dad for per week after it handed off. That way, I were given faraway from my grieving mom and had time to address the entire situation. i'm nevertheless no longer over her. i began crying even as i began typing this answer. the in worry-free words element you are able to quite do is remember. remember the sturdy circumstances you had and the magnificent existence you gave her. Remind your self that she died chuffed and loved a lot by utilizing you. She had an rather good existence. and do not rush into getting yet another puppy too quickly. it is what I did. I felt like i mandatory to fill the empty hollow in my existence, besides the undeniable fact that it in worry-free words dissatisfied our different canine extra. We ended up getting a canine from the pound that replaced into an same breed as the different and we idea it replaced into a demonstration even as it had an same call. when we presented her residing house, our different canine replaced into so excited to ascertain his major different. even as he got here upon out it replaced into no longer her, he went right into a downslide. they have never had the perfect courting by way of this. and that i got here upon myself calling the call and wondering our old canine replaced into going to run via the door. I had to call the recent canine something new. yet we only celebrated the old canine's birthday on Valentines Day. We placed a birthday hat on her container of ashes and made a cupcake for her. and that i save her pillow on the end of my mattress nevertheless. It takes time, yet finally the soreness will pass away. no longer thoroughly, yet sufficient. i'd be certain you save you and your situation in my prayers.

I recently had a cat who was very sick and went through many surguries, and I was there for every one. I even nursed him back to health when he couldn't even walk from too much drugs in surgury. Then he repayed me, and watched over me when i was sick. So needless to say, it as very hard when he passed away. The only way I got through it, was to get the courage to go to where he was barried, and say I love him one last time, and to keep his colar with me. But then dont force it, but slowely move on... they are always looking over you

It is part of the grieving process. There isn't much you can do but let everything out and wait until you feel better.
You'll see her again some day.
Good luck.
