SDAM and the loss of a beloved dog

I lost my absolutely amazing and love of my life family dog of 16 years a few days ago. The loss is hitting me so hard and I feel such a deep pain and a hole in my heart. Knowing that she is gone forever and I can't see her anymore, in day to day life or in my mind. I have full aphantasia as well

I'm feeling so guilty and distraught that I can't remember any memories, visual ones that is of our time spent together. I can remember facts about her, "oh she loved to chase snow balls" or "oh she loved to eat food off the table" but I cannot remember a single visual memory of her. I can't even picture her face or her mannerisms. How she walked. How she ran. How she played.

I knew this (SDAM) was a thing when she was alive, but I would just go and spend time with her and everything would be okay. It didn't matter if I couldn't remember anything about our past adventures, I could see her in the moment and nothing else mattered. Now that she's gone, I can't go to her and have that comfort.

I have thousands of photos and videos of her. Looking at them now is so painful. I was building a photo album of her before she passed but I wish I completed it before she left. What hurts me the most is there is no emotional tie to the image. I can look at the image and know where it was, what year, what trip or location it was, what she was doing, but there is no memory to tie it back to.

I really don't want to forget her. I'm going to try to finish the photo album and maybe record some voice notes of her life and her adventures over the years. Facts I remember about her.

Would love to hear some similar experiences of grief with pets or family members.
