Young-adult Autism + Tragic death of very close dog = Uh Oh

Hi!  I'm a 22 Autistic person who just suffered a very tragic loss.  I've had a female golden retriever named Sandy I've had for 12 years.  This morning, my mom took her to the vet to have surgery on her infected eye.  The day was originally going to involve her come home late in the afternoon all sedated and tired with a eye patch and I had serious plans to take extra good care of her, but, um, it turns out that she's been having eye cancer that's quickly been spreading to her lungs.  And, um, I think you can figure out the outcome.

Well @ 11:00 later that morning, my mom came home unexpectedly and came to my room in tears saying she didn't make it.  We hugged and discussed what happed while very teary.  At one point, I screamed "Why did God take her away from me?!?!"  She simply explained that "It was time."

Sometimes, when my noisy emotional downpour stops, which usually occurs by doing something I enjoy, I feel like everything's gonna be ok.  But when one of my parents come to my room, or when I go to the kitchen, it starts again for another hour or two, and worse yet it spreads to my parents and it goes on...

My dog was very close to me, especially during her last few years, when both of my sisters moved out and I was unable to go to college.  She always kept me company when I was sleeping or keeping busy and all I had to do in exchange was feed her and take her outside.

I'm just having a very difficult time coping with this.  I just loved seeing her wagging her tail with excitement while simply walking and her soft growls when I was petting her.  Now out of nowhere, it's all gone.

My next personal step is getting me Super Smash Bros. Brawl this afternoon to help me improve emotionally but I'm sure I'll be ok in no more than a couple of weeks. I'm trying this after watching a person I subscribe to on YouTube playing and recording it while voice chatting with his friends and having lots of fun.  That stopped my tears for a very long time.

My main concern right now is if God is going to take good take care of her in dog heaven.

I know I didn't really mention Autism in the post but I was curious how a death of a pet and Autism link to one-another,  especially if the person with Autism hasn't reached the age of 14 yet.  Thank goodness I'm a 22 year-old adult who can keep busy easily despite living with my parents.
