rough week....

oh...today was fun...whelp, my mom came to pick me up and the told me that she got into an accident. my first reaction was oh crud...well nothing seems destroyed on the car and mom looks alright, so it must not be too bad. she fell silent and then told me she accidentally backed up over Cricket, our kitten......Cricket is dead...my brother had to burry him and Shane had to hose down the driveway...i don't know how to comfort mom, she cried so hard her face was red and she gave herself a migraine. in our family, pets are children, it's hard enough to loose one to old age and disease which i'm a pro and comforting her then, but to witness the death...i just about had a heart attack a year ago when she drove over some compacted snow at night and when i got out of the car i thought it was our cat Notty, i can only imagine how horrible this is for her....all i can tell her is that it's not her fault, he was car stupid and just sat behind the back tired, she didn't even know he was there and to the best of our knowledge he never tried to move...any encouraging words that could help her would be very appreciated.

OMG!  I am so incredibly sorry!  I know how you feel about pets being family.  My dogs are the same way.  It broke my heart when I had to put my cat down a couple of years ago.  I had her from the time I was 5 until I was 21.  I honestly felt like a murderer.  My only consolation was that she died before they even injected the euthanizing agent, she died while they gave her the sedative.

I am so sorry.  I really have no words of wisdom or comfort other than this was purely an accident.  Animals often hide underneath cars and they don't realize the danger.  This was absolutely not your mom's fault.  It was an unfortunate accident, that is very, very clear.  This is the kind of thing that could happen to anyone.  My heart really goes out to you and your family, especially your mom.  I can't imagine the guilt she must be going through and it's really too bad because she doesn't need to feel guilty.  It was an accident, not intentional.  Please give her a big hug and send her my condolences.  I'm so sorry!

If there's anything at all I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.  I know I keep saying this, but I'm so sorry. 

Poor poor you! My condoleances, my heart goes to you. Pets are family so i thinks it's only normal to feel sad.

My cat died two years ago and god i cried so much. He was old and sick, i had promised him that i wouldn't let him alone during this time and i didn't...I get tears in my eyes just thinking of his death, i remained with him until the end.

Courage Luv i'm with you!
