Is it normal i covered up the death of my butterfly pet

When i was 4 years old i had a butterfly as a pet. I loved it so much. About a month later i accidentally sat on it and killed it. I went to my back yard and dug a grave for my butterfly. I buried it there and i cried for hours. My grandma asked about my butterfly later and i just told her that it just stopped moving. It was 14 years ago but i still sometimes visit the grave and cry.

    don't worry, butterflies don't live that long and it was probably already on it's way to death before you squished it.

    it's up in the sky playing with it's butterfly friends now

    Well if it just stopped moving that would mean it died?

    It just means that you had shame about an accident that wasn't your fault.
