I Killed Her Options

[Lisaasr]

On July 6th 2003 my cat "Bean" died from heart disease - he was diagnosed in Dec 2001 was on medication and had been doing really well but suddenly became very ill and passed away. I thought I was going to die too - he was my special little man and I loved him so much. But now something awful has happened. Mimi, Bean's mother is dead and I killed her. I reversed my car over her yesterday morning, I always check to see if any of the cats are near the car but I didn't yesterday, I don't know why I didn't check I always check. Oh God I killed my Mimi. I don't know what to do. I keep reliving it and feeling the bump as the car went over her. I just don't know why I didn't check - I always do, when anyone comes to my house I always make them check before they drive away but I didn't and I killed Mimi. I'm just not coping with this at all. First Bean and now Mimi, How will I ever get over this . Its my fault - I killed her.

Lisa, my thoughts are with you. I am still getting over the loss of my beloved dog Lucky on 11th July and I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you to face such a double tragedy.

It will get better. I find it is really helpful to talk to someone who knows and understands exactly what you are going through and knows that the loss of a pet can be a massively traumatic experience. This website is the perfect place to do that.

Please do not blame yourself it will only make things worse

You have my deepest sympathy
