Lost my daughter to suicide will be 2 years ago in 2 days

@barelyhere1 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As @mikekennedy759 said, there are no words.
In the next few days, take time to write a letter to your daughter, to comfort yourself with healthy food, some exercise. Let your children and grandchildren know that it is okay to mourn, to feel grief, and gather as a family to remember her. They are remembering also, and feeling grief. It's a normal process, and there is no timeline for reaching certain stages.
If you feel drawn to seek out professional help, that may be a way to figure out how you will get through this and cope. There is nothing saying you need to forget her, and being able to honor her in a way that she might have found meaningful may indeed be a huge positive in your grief. Could you do that? What would you think about doing?

I have been writing her since the day she left me,that's the only outlet that gives any form of helping that I've found or done. I have no close friends left they've all passed the ones around can't handle my pain the whole suicide part scares people away some avoid me cause they don't know how to be around me now they feel like they should be able to help but I know they can't don't expect them to there's no magic word or action that will ever bring her back and that is the only way to heal my heart it would just meant so much if 1 person had just held me one of these times I'm crying if 1 person had just said I got you had took some of the weight of life off my shoulders if just for a min had just called or come by to just let me know they are there for me but I walk this nightmare alone even with a so called partner who should've and still should be my support but he failed me and still is with the excuse he don't know what to say or do if I was in a better position I would leave or he would one
