Today marks the two week anniversary of Storm's passing. Daily living has fallen into its normal rhythm, well as normal as it can get without her, but that doesn't necessarily make it ok. I think about her a lot, everyday, but at least now I'm thinking less and less of her limp body and lifeless eyes. I don't know if I ever will forget that sight,

You should mourn her. Pets are a huge part of our lives, and there's nothing remotely strange about mourning their passing.

And yes, as time goes on you'll think of the happy times with Storm, not her last moments. That's how it's worked for me - I had Sammy for more than half my life, but even though it was hard to lose her, when I think of her I think of the time she tried to eat a piece of chicken covered in fire ants, or the time I snuck her into a hotel in my suitcase. I almost never think of her last few hours. It'll likely be the same for you after a while. It may take a long time, but it really does get easier.

So, getting happier, congratulations on 2 years! Woot!

I think you are handling it pretty well. It's normal and healthy to mourn pets b/c it's true what you said, she was family! They should be family.
