QI gone to Rainbow Bridge

I am extremely upset at the moment. My darling daughter is hysterical - she was parking her car and accidentally ran over and killed her beloved Mishka tonight. She was the eldest of my QIs and I don't know how to console my daughter. Mishka raced out the door when DD went out - she would play hide a seek with us until she was ready to come inside.

Mishka was a lovely pale torti, full of mischief, and loved digging in my garden with me. Mishka was not afraid of our cars and used to jump in them if the door or window was left open. She was 13 years old and so loveable - I miss her dreadfully.

Please pray for my DD that she will not dwell on what has happened, she is only 22 yrs old and totally heart broken.

I am so sorry to hear this. It was an unfortuante accident, but that does not change one thing.

Of course you will both be in my prayers, and I hope your DD will be able to forgive herself. Accidents are so hard to come to terms with; the if-only plays through like a loop.

And Mishka would be first up to the plate to tell you both.

Oh, what a horrible thing to have happened, for all of you but especially your daughter. Poor little kitty; but, at least, she had no idea of what happened - no illness, no fear. I hope that, in time, that will help comfort your daughter. . In message , DiMa writes

Oh, I'm so sorry! Please tell her that I can feel with her; last summer I was the reason that the best cat that ever lived died. I stepped on his tail while he was eating dry kitty num and he choked on it. Unfortunately, he didn't do so immediately, he just coughed a little and ran upstairs, giving me an incredibly offended look. When I was through with my household chores half an hour later, I went to look for him and found him under my bed, dead. You cannot get over something like this in the sense of 'feeling like it never happened'. You can only learn to forgive yourself, telling yourself that you didn't do it on purpose, and be careful with the other pets you have. I still miss him, he really loved me, and I loved him. There's no way back. You have to learn to live with heartbreak. That's part of the curse of being human. And then, heartbroken is better than insensitive. At least I think so.

Oh no, millions of hugs to you and your DD. Poor baby, she must be in such a world of hurt. The same thing happened to me many years ago, when I was a teen just learning to drive. Although it doesn't rest in my upper mind any more, at times the sadness of that day comes back to me. Please tell her I sent her a special hug.

I can't imagine the pain. It will take her some time to get over that. I'm so very, very sorry. Gen

Thank you everyone - your comforting thoughts are much appreciated. My DD is still in partial shock, hasn't smiled since Thursday. I am hoping that going fishing today with her sister will help her smile again, they always have heaps of fun with their friends.

Poor Di - and your daughter. I concur with the other posters, all lovely thoughts. My quilting buddy in the next street had her daughter do exactly the same thing 12 months ago. They got another little kitty a few weeks later, and now just have loving memories of "Hutch". That's all you can do. But it hurts so much..... Hugs to all Bronnie
