Loss Of Daisy, Death of my cat Options

[Catherine1]

Yesterday morning we were wakened by a neighbour at 6am to tell us that our beloved wee cat Daisy had been ran over by a car and had been killed. My husband brought her home but wouldnt let me look at her. I have never felt grief like this before and I havnt stopped crying since it happened. She was with us for 8 years and I miss her terribly. I have an overwhelming feeling of guilt that I didnt get the chance to say goodbye to her or kiss her face and stroke her. We have buried her in the garden but everytime I look out I am crying again. Everything reminds me of her and I feel totally miserable. People have been understanding but I feel that maybe they will be thinking okay you ve had a cry, now pull yourself together and get on with it, but it really is so hard. I hope in time my guilt will fade and I will be able to talk and think about her without bursting into tears. Meanwhile if anyone has had a similar experience I would really love to hear from them to find out if it gets any easier.
