Am I mistreating my dog by missing some walks after my pet died?

One of my pets passed away on Sunday. I’ve been doing what I can to continue my daily tasks, walking my dog and playing with her, trying to ignore how I feel. I’ve kept up with most of it. I’m just really tired, and really sad, all I want to do is lay down and let myself be sad. The weather is really bad today and I just feel like I’m facing a mountain by going on a walk. Is it unfair to my dog if she gets a few less walks than usual this week just because of that? She keeps looking at me hoping I’ll bring her and I just want to cry, the thought of doing anything right now just makes me want to cry. I feel like I’m a horrible owner, I just don’t know if it’s okay to allow myself time to rest even though I feel like I need it.

I also have two other people in the house who can walk her in the evening, they just haven’t been bringing her as often, I’m not sure why. She gets at least one walk a day no matter what, just maybe not by me.
