Congrats!  Though take your time, you're grieving,  a lot of people will understand. The pain of loss doesn't go away  just like that. It takes time.  Don't be  hard on yourself, let yourself grieve. Don't force yourself to move forward too quickly, it won't work well. Trust me I know the consequences of pushing yourself to move on. It ain't pretty.

Congrats on the finishing it up and it's also okay to be mentally exhausted, you've had a stressful couple of years and stuff is AAAAAH. Grieving also comes in waves and mental stress def can make stuff go blank. Just know you're important and be gentle to yourself, it's okay that stuff got overwhelming.

Take your time. I can relate as I lost a very beloved pet of mine a month ago and it still hurts. Of course, it is a bit different as she was a leopard gecko (her name was Bella!) but I owned her for 12 years and she was a big part of my childhood. I still feel sad passing by the empty space and knowing she isn't there anymore. I'm a writer so her passing really gave me writer's block and set me back for a while. It takes time to get through things like this. Sometimes it could help writing about (or drawing in your case) a picture of your pet but is not an activity for everyone. I also had that paranoid feeling that my other pet, a 10-year-old pug would pass, and would often wake up in the middle of the night to check on him. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can move forward while still remembering the fond times you had with Kiara.

As for finishing the game, I am very excited. I love Legend of the Winged Ones and have followed the development of Bermuda Triangle since you first announced it although I've lurked for a while without many comments (maybe one or two!). I am thankful that you have kept us updated on your progress and I hope it is a big hit!

Take your time to grieve. A part of your life has been taken from you, it's normal to lose motivation from that. You are amazing for getting this far, and I hope you understand how far you've made it even with life being the way it is.

Heyy, it's always hard to lose family and we all know that our dogs are exactly that, part of our family and whoever denies it is a damn fool... I feel so much for you <3 My dog passed away 5 years ago, but I miss her everyday... damn has it already been 5 years? Time passes so quickly. I grew up with her and she was my everything, so I know what you are going through and honestly, take your time to grieve and give yourself some peace, we all understand :) 

It must've been hard to have her pass away in your arms, but at least she knew you were there and that you cared for her until the end. She'll always be in your heart and one day remembering her will fill you with more joy than sadness :) I can tell you that from experience.

Take your time, take care of yourself and allow yourself to be sad, we'll be here supporting you <3

Hi SweetChiel :)

I remember how long it took for me to not feel overwhelmed with grief when my dog passed away two years ago. It was a long and sad time with many times feeling like I've made no process and I was back on square one. I still feel a little sad when I think of her but it's ultimately thoughts of fondness and gratitude that we had each other for those years. I really feel for you, Kiara was beautiful and sounded like a wonderful and sweet girl. 

I'm glad you have support and other things to pass the time. Take all the time you need for things pertaining to this game, we all understand :) sending you tons of love <3
