What I found helpful was writing out all sorts of good memories and behaviors of my kitty Precious. I had her for 12 of her 19 years.

Find an outlet for memories, maybe even bad ones from m to the end (just don't keep it after). If not writing, draw/paint, do a collage of photos, out together a video.

But if you're having depression issues after this long, it might also be time to speak with a doctor or psychologist. Even a friend.

It sounds like it's been a long time, sometimes the best thing for memories is to use them, not let them sit. Best thing for depression is simply doing something, anything.

Hope this helps
