I am so sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to you.
If words would help your pain, I would say them. I can only offer my favorite poem instead, in the hope that it might help.
The Secret
We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass.

No matter how long our beloved friends are with us, it is never long enough.
I weep with you.
