When Columbine went RB through being hit by a car it took me a week to

It wasn't as traumatic when Ted went RB and I think that's becuase we
had both time to get used to the idea of Life After Ted and because we
could say goodbye, but it's nearly a year later and we (DH and I)
still shed the occasional tear because we still miss her. Spock and
Persephone are both wonderful in their own way, but neither are Ted
and there is still a big, Ted-shaped hole in our lives that we will
attempt to remedy one of these days. I imagine it will be the same for you.
I miss Columbine and Ted too, and I can see how having the kitten hit
by a car is especially traumatic - you get hit all at once. With
Betty, I still can't justify to myself what I've done, but I knew that
she was doomed. I knew I couldn't fix her, even though I desperately
wanted to. I knew she would be gone, even though I couldn't or
wouldn't imagine it.
It is in our nature to want to fix things, fight for survival of our loved ones. Even if we know it is not possible. It doesn't need justification. Nor does letting her go. It is like trying to hold water. You did what was best. It will be hard for a long time, but not impossible. To me the saddest thing is if someone doesn't care. You cared because you love. That isn't a crime. It's the nature of love.
