About 5 years ago we had to put down our black cocker spaniel Chalo after she had a stroke in the morning. She had some health problems as she got older like glaucoma (had to remove her eye) and she went deaf, but other than that she was in good shape. I walked her every day until she died, it was kind of a surprise that it happened all of a sudden (although she was 12). To make matters worse I wasn't even there as I was in high school at the time.

Cockers are great dogs and I can definitely sympathize with your loss. Although it seems unpalatable right now, getting another dog is the best cure.
