Answer 1

I am sorry to hear about your loss.

This was an accident, and you should forgive yourself because it's the right thing to do. :)

You're going to feel better in time - know that it's your intention that counts - not your action.

God bless!

Answer 2

omg. I feel your pain. T_T

me and my hamsters also have a special bond.

just reading your question makes me teary. :(

it'll hurt for probably days or weeks but you'll eventually forgive yourself. knowing it was an accident, it'll probably be easier. you can try and get a new one if you like.

a cat once ate one of my hamsters and it took me years to forgive those creatures, whenever I get the chance I always find ways to try and hurt them. >:|

Answer 3

if you want to forget about killing your hamster buy a new one and kill that one, then yourll forget about that previous hamster you killed and yourll be concentrating on the new one you killed.

Answer 4

I'm so sorry.  That's sounds terrible.  Please keep in mind that it was an accident and she didn't suffer.  Time will help.  I like the idea of a funeral.  Again, I'm sorry.  Please forgive yourself and take care.

Answer 5

i know that this isnt a proper answer but just ignore these ****holes that cant be nice enough to leave something useful and can only think of ways to make you feel worse!

and i had a hamster i think she died cos i didnt look after her properly i felt awful for weeks but you will hopefully get over it soon!

Answer 6

Intense grief over the loss of a pet is normal and natural. Don't let anyone tell you that it's silly, crazy, or overly sentimental to grieve!

The most important step you can take is to be honest about your feelings. Don't deny your pain, or your feelings of anger and guilt. Only by examining and coming to terms with your feelings can you begin to work through them.

You have a right to feel pain and grief! Someone you loved has died, and you feel alone and bereaved. You have a right to feel anger and guilt, as well. Acknowledge your feelings first, then ask yourself whether the circumstances actually justify them.

Locking away grief doesn't make it go away. Express it. Cry, scream, pound the floor, talk it out. Do what helps you the most. Don't try to avoid grief by not thinking about your pet; instead, reminisce about the good times. This will help you understand what your pet's loss actually means to you.

Some find it helpful to express their feelings and memories in poems, stories, or letters to the pet. Other strategies including rearranging your schedule to fill in the times you would have spent with your pet; preparing a memorial such as a photo collage; and talking to others about your loss.

Many of us have been in your shoes - it hurts; and the pain won't go away anytime soon. Focus on the good memories you had with your hamster rather than the bad ones. Accidents happen all the time to people. It's how we cope we them that will determine your long-term psychological health.

I wish you good luck!

I can understand how sad you must have felt , my hamster died too and she died because I did not close the cage well , and she got out and went deep into the sofa and died... That's why I never have a pet anymore , I'm afraid that I might get hurt again...

What I did was that I bury her in my garden and grew a flower above it , everytime I see the flower , it will remind me of all the good times we had together

Answer 8

Have a little hamster funeral and say goodby properly, don't worry.

Ignore the guy above me, what a jerk.

Answer 9

Bury her in a good place so that you can remember her. You'll get over it. It was an accident.

Answer 10

you cant control death, it was miss hamsters time to go see lucy in the sky with diamonds.

its not your fault. accidents happen.

perhaps you should hold a funeral for her and say youre sorry for accidentally... you know, and then burry her and maybe get a new hamster.

im sorry your hamster died btw :(

Answer 11

Grief is a natural process and theres no easy way through it. Just take it a day at a time, remeber you didnt mean it and the death would have been relatively quick.

Its ok to grieve, i'd be more worried if you didnt.

I had a rabbit a few years ago, Bob Tail was its name. My sister let it out of its cage and I unknowingly ran it over in my car. I felt like c**p for weeks, but it was an accident. **** Happens, its how you deal with it that counts. You can quote me on that if you like :)
