It's really that simple. When you change your mindset completely to "what benefits will I have, what quality of life will be enhanced if I choose to get a dog?" - when THAT is how you wrap your mind around pet ownership, THEN you'll be ready to get a dog. Not a moment before then.
This^^
I know, from countless losses and "startings over," that I will always have a pet in my life.
