Oh, that's terrible. Yes, time will help. When it gets too hard, can you just give yourself permission to cry it out and feel all the feelings for a time? And after that just do what you can to help the time pass.
I used to know someone who ran over their own child. There's no comparison, but there's really no way around the grief, except through it.
I'm sorry.

I don't have any advice to add, but I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet. They really are like family to us. I know it was a complete accident and I know you know that, too, but I'm sure it still makes it that much harder.

When my first dog died, I blamed myself for a number of reasons. So I can imagine your pain - so far beyond the "ordinary" devastation of losing a pet without blaming oneself.
Let yourself grieve. The pain will be long and deep, but you will get through it, to the happy memories of your kitty.

Be kind to yourself. You know it was an accident and that you really cared for your kitty. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. Remember the good things about your kitty. She'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge - there's a special section for the TE friends I'm convinced.

Ah, Serottarider. I am so sorry. Tctrek is right---this was a total accident. None of us see everything all the time; we do the best we can, and accidents honestly happen. Your kitty was well loved.
