I miss my daughter so.

[squatting dog]

Some days (like today) it just sweeps over me. So hard to go on.

 

[Sassycakes]

Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss. Time never takes away the pain.(((Hugs)))

 

[SeaBreeze]

@squatting dog I'm so sorry you're having a difficult day, I can't even imagine how you feel after losing your lovely daughter, like Sassy said, time may lessen the pain, but it never completely removes it. Hugs my friend, you will be in my thoughts.

 

[RadishRose]

My dear friend I am also at a loss for words, but hope for God to send you comfort to get through this day.

 

[Judycat]

I'm right there with you. My daughter was the light of my life.

 

[Pinky]

I cannot fathom the pain of losing a child. I only know it would be the hardest thing for me to bear.

 

[Kaila]

My heart goes out to you.

 

[Pepper]

Sharing this with us @squatting dog and @Judycat pulls on our heart strings with you....thinking of you kindly at times like this.

Losing a child must be just about the worse thing in the world a parent has to deal with. I can't even imagine how I would feel if one of my kids were to suddenly not be here anymore.

I hope that you find peace and solace while reliving the good memories.

 

[jujube]

I can't imagine losing a child. My heart goes out to you, squatting dog.

Don't know if any words can help but here's a quote I found.

"Healing comes in waves
and maybe today
the wave hits the rocks,

and that's ok.
that's ok darling,

you are still healing.
you are still healing."

 

[Mike]

All of the people who have written above have said
it for me Squatting Dog because I have no words that
are any better, my heart feels your pain and I only wish
that there was something that I could personally do to
ease you pain.

Things will improve a bit, but it might take a long time.

Mike.

Squatting Dog, and Judycat....hold on to the memories of the good times so that you may find solace in the dark days.

 

[hollydolly]

So sorry Squatting Dog... the grief must be unbearable and just hit you like a tsunami at times...

How long is it now?

This is helpful to those of us who have lost a child. The classic "stages of grief" are not rigid. Forever, there will be days that you don't think of your loss at all and days when you cannot think of anything else. Holidays and birthdays will always be hard. It helps on these occasions to recount the good memories you have of your child - recall their reactions to opening a special gift, what they particularly enjoyed.

My old boss would celebrate his son's life on each anniversary by providing us all with his son's favorite birthday cake. This may sound odd, but it comforted him - bringing back from memory all the scenes of love they shared. For myself, I think of my son's love for animals whenever I see one. It's like having a link, a bond. If that doesn't work on a given day, it's okay to just feel anger, denial. There is no set path to healing. But, you will move on. You will live for the living.

I'm sorry for your losses and sorrow, @squatting dog and @Judycat. I wish I knew some soothing words as a balm for your pain, but language is so inadequate at times like these.

Please know that we care.

So sorry Squatting Dog... the grief must be unbearable and just hit you like a tsunami at times...

How long is it now?

Be 3 years in Oct. yet it seems like yesterday, and yes, there are days when it's unbearable and I just have to hibernate.

 

[Sunny]

What a terrible loss. I am so sorry.

The face we show to the world when we lose a child is not the pain we feel in our hearts no matter how long it's been .. . I suspect that you feel in one way that she was just here yesterday, and you expect her to walk in, and in other ways as though she's been gone for a hundred years .. the pain is so raw.
No platitudes from me, just know we're always here to listen when you're in emotional purgatory
