I've been there and the way I got through each day was due to my sister and several close friends (quite a few were online). There were also my animals because I knew they needed me no matter what was going on in my life. If you get rid of your snakes, I'd recommend keeping 1 or 2 of your favorites to give you something to focus on.
It may not seem like it now or even for awhile but if you just take each day as it comes, you will get through it.
