Not sure any of us can meet your expectations for good words.....

Been through two rounds of loss in the past too few months - first was putting Jack the Wonder Dog down after his kidneys just quit working. We knew, he knew. It was time. He lay cuddled on my lap with his head in Darling Wife's arms.

Second was when we watched Luke get hit by an SUV seconds after we'd spotted him following hours of searching in the cold and dark. After trying to calm the poor woman who was driving the SUV (truly no fault of hers), I scooped Luke's warm body out of the street to carry him home.... made it half the 400 yards to our house, and collapsed. I can honestly say I've never cried harder.

So very sorry for your lose. It hurts. No getting around that. Eventually, it hurts a little less.
