So sorry you have this ahead of you, crushed. I had 2 brother kitties, one with diabetes, who were lucky enough to have seen 17 years each. They died with a year of each other. The vet was extremely suppoprtive and offered lots of help.
It helped me to gather the belongings that were their most favourites - like eating bowls, toys, and even a blanket - and I said goodbye to those items as well. I thought of it as putting aside the things that they would need to reach the rainbow bridge.About a year later, I had a friend do a photo collage piece of some of my favourite pics, and I made a memoriam to the boys in that way.
It's still not easy. My heart goes out to you.
