That was devastating, Amy, and very brave of you to write. I am so sorry you had to endure that guilt on top of the agony of losing your beloved Molly. I hope sharing this will help with your ongoing healing from the grief.
It is a reminder that even a momentary flicker of absentmindedness, distraction, or preoccupation can have fatal consequences, and it could happen to any one of us.
Imagine how parents who casually got their kids injected at the drugstore feel after their child dies or becomes excruciatingly disabled—if they have the courage to face what they’ve done. That is a guilt that can never be extricated from the grief.
Molly was lucky to have been loved and pampered for 7 magical years. Her death was a tragic accident where no one was at fault, not unlike the hot car deaths of toddlers who climb into unlocked parked cars when everyone is at home. For kids, the car is a happy place to watch videos, play with toys and get their drive thru fix. How would they know they can get trapped because they don’t know how to open the door? How would they know they can suffocate in the heat when they’re used to riding in air conditioned comfort? Please try to forgive yourself, Amy, because what’s done is done. Your story may just save the lives of other pets, so thank you!
Amy please don't blame yourself for Molly's death. you were in a house full of people and anyone could have checked to see where she was.
losing a furry friend is just as heartbreaking as losing a person. i can only imagine how hard this was for you to write. your strength never ceases to inspire me.
i've been visited in dreams by animals who are no longer with us, and the message has always been the same: reassurance that they were ok. maybe send out a signal to molly that you'd like to get one back from her?
Heartbreaking, absolutely devastating. The suffering of an innocent being is so hard to process, so much harder if we judge ourselves responsible in any way. I can relate, on many levels. Thank you for choising to share so openly. Your authentic heart centered sharing helps to wrench the curtains open on the lurid fake ass stage show the enemy wants us buying into. I appreciate you so much.
Oh wow, Amy! You have carried the guilt for so long! That is awful and your conscience seems so heavily burdened by it. We all make mistakes but it takes a big heart to tell the truth about them. You are special for having the courage to remember pretty Molly in this way.
As for social media, you are so right. It has been horribly phoney all along. Maybe because the product developers are also horribly phoney? I dunno but they hate me and I am very proud of that! xx

Rest in peace, sweet Molly 😿💔😭
I'm so sorry Amy. 😪🙏
Some people will never understand others struggles if they dont stop judging, open their hearts and truly see.
Love and hugs to you Amy. ❤
Such a sad story. I'm so sorry.
