I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but my Hamster of 2 years died last night. (I posted a few days ago that he was very sick) I've never really had a real pet besides for him, but I love animals.

What do I do now?
I'm sad and I miss him... If I get a new one... I just don't want to feel like I'm replacing him, you know?

Get a dog.

My friend sat on his hamster and killed it. He also broke another ones's leg by moving a sofa onto it by mistake. He has bad luck with rodents.

Get a different type of animal, maybe one which is more exciting than a hamster (not that I'm insulting your hamster lol).

You have my condolences on the passing of your hamster. I had a small animal similar to a Guinea Pig die only a month and a half ago. I cried, even though I only had him for half a year.

Because of my dad, we didn't get another one. I would have wanted to, but he just flat out said not another one, because he thought it was stupid in the first place. I didn't argue much, and just went on with life.

I'm fine now. I was sad for a few days, but then, I just realized that he isn't going to be around. I don't know if you would be able to let go that easy, because if so, I personally found it was not that hard not having one to care about anymore, but you might be even more emotionally attached, and want another.

I would say don't get another one yet, let the old one's thought in your mind have peace first. Give it a month or two.
