I'm sure you miss her. I'd be surprised if you didn't. 56 days is nothing in terms of grief and loss sometimes. I've lost cherished pets (aren't they all though) and the loss can still be very acute. I hate that "forgetting" only to re-experience the loss.
I remember the day of my grandfather's funeral. We were in the procession on the way to the cemetery and drove by a little convenience store that was advertising 2 liter pepsi cola for 89 cents. I remember thinking "how could someone still be selling pepsi on a day like today".I understood fully at that moment how isolating grief can be.
No, most people won't understand. But I do. I I know you loved your dog, and she loved you back. I know you will continue to love her even though she is no longer physically with you. She existed, she mattered and will continue to do so.
She was a lucky dog to have been with you and you are a lucky person for having known her.
Now is the time to take care of yourself while you grieve.
Seldom.
