Maria,
I'm so, so sorry. The news was absolutely heartbreaking, and I can't even imagine how it is now for you. Please listen to the wise folks here, and take whatever you can from them.
And in case this need to be said again - this absolutely was not your fault. Not ever.
Also, you're not alone, even really late at (your) night. I'm at work (daytime in Israel), but I'll be around in case you're here.
Again, I'm so sorry.
And in its own post:
ChiKat, I'm sorry to hear about your cat. From what I've been through with my dog, I know that comes a time where you just know. But I have no idea if cats are that different than dogs.
Anyhow, {{ChiKat}}. It's a rough place.
Yay buffistas round the globe. Glad you've got the US night shift covered, Shir.
Glad you've got the US night shift covered, Shir.
Always. To me, you are family.
I'm so sorry, Maria. I'm thinking of you and wishing you strength for these difficult days. You are loved, and we'll be here.

You'll be in my thoughts. I wish I knew what else to say.
Maria,
I'm going to ditto what everyone else said. Much 'ma and strength to you.
Peace and strength to you, Maria.
Oh, Maria, I'm so, so sorry. We're all here for you, and we won't give up on you. Sending love your way.
Maria, I am so sorry for your loss, and I am so glad this community was here for you last night. And as I regularly tell my 5 year old, each person is in control of his or her own actions. (No, Peter, your sister did not make you hit her by sticking out her tongue. You made that choice.)
