I guess I better let this out before I start falling to pieces.

When I was 7 there were two kittens in my home, Apollo and Athena, and I loved the two very much. But one day, Athena (tears are welling up here) was crossing the street and got run over by a truck. I still haven't gotten over this and thinking about it makes me want to sob. This reaction also happens if I see anything that's roadkill, even a skunk. I just wish this pain would go the f--- away!

Sorry for your loss.
I thought I was the only one that gets attached to road kill.

Growing up cats and dogs were free to roam and on our street a number of pets including some of ours suffered accidents.

Loving animals is a big OK. Therapy is great for working out that what gets in the way of living our lives.
My friend will move a dead squirrel/bird road kill under a bush or tree, sprinkle tabacco and say a prayer.
Once a man asked why she was doing this, and her answer this was a living creature and deserves respect. Of course she does this when she is not placing herself at risk.

Maybe there is a connection that memories of the early loss are 'mistaking' attributed to road kill. You have helped me with your question.
Having a bit of an off day today, hope this makes some sense.
