I'm sorry you had to go through this tragedy. Please know that your little guy is at peace now and although the "mind pictures" are still horrible for you, in time your wonderful memories with Gizmo will take their place.
Please understand that we know what your going through and how difficult it is. There are no words to make it better but just trust that in time it will get easier. For now, go on with your grieving but don't blame yourself or your brother in-law. It was a tragic accident and you can't change what happened, these things do happen. I'm so sorry for you and your family.
God Bless and RIP Gizmo
