My mom accidentally ran over and killed my dog yesterday… he was 11 and I’ve raised him since he was a puppy. That was literally my son. We’ve been together for over half my life. I’m overcome with the grief. How do I get through this? He was my baby boy

How does that even happen? I’m so sorry for your loss but like your mom should’ve been paying closer attention to her surroundings

She does, and she’s more scared that I hate her rn and I really don’t. Like I feel no resentment or anger toward her at all. I know it was an accident. But I will say it’s hard having to worry about not showing her how much I’m hurting so she doesn’t blame herself more than she already is

She was running late for work and he was a small dog and she drives a big car so it can be hard to see him. Now I know she definitely couldve been paying more attention but it was really was just an unfortunate really heartbreaking accident
