I've been caring for a eft for several years that i found on the side of the road. Feeding him by hand and watching his strength and health progress. I made the little guy a 75G palidarium with an island and self sustaining population of tropical fish and little bugs/ worms. Such a mysterious little soul.
It broke my heart to find him dead when i got home from another 16 hour day. His lifeless body floating in the water with no explanation. He would crawl out of the moss and foliage during feeding time and i could lead him around with the food like a puppy. I fed him every day for years. Watched him in fascination for countless hours as i try to maintain what little sanity i have. I've lost my parents, most of my family. Like most of you i've lost all my close friends. Now there is this immeasurable loss. I'd strangle a hundred thousand nigger babys with my owns and never so much as get a lump in my throat. My dear issac was not supposed to die this way. He was supposed to be a good old newt, someone my kids would know for another 15+ years. His magic now is gone, my stewardship over. I will be haunted by this loss.
I've gotten to a point of understanding where the best way to honor the animals that joyfully come into our lives is to remember the joy that they brought us, we brought them, and everything we shared. I doubt your newt would have wanted a funeral pyre or a parade, but if you feel moved enough to do so, you can give him a funeral. Grieve properly, and then let go. Most animals love unconditionally, and we need to learn to be more like them again.
Perhaps you'll become an Hor de overies? You'll get over it. Snap out of it. EVERYBODY dies. At least he's/she's not saddled with YOU forever now? So he's got THAT going for him. You pussy.
Aww that really sucks man. A newt, you say? They live about a decade yeah? Maybe he was an old soul when you found him. I'm sure he enjoyed his friendship with you regardless.
Sorry for your loss, man. I lost a pet pretty recently too. If you need to talk about it, hit me up. I could actually do better talking about it, because it fucking sucks and I still see her everywhere. Anyway, hit me up if you're hurting.
At least you still have your dolphins to fuck every day. At 16 hours a day it's a thankless job. Thats a lot of dolphin fucking. I bet your nickname is free willy.
