My heart aches for you and can only imagine the grief you feel. I feel some good advise has been given, I would just offer yourself grace. It’s okay to grieve and feel the pain and there is nothing that says there is a timeline of how that should look, therefore, it will look different for each of your family members. Try to be with your other family members, remember the positive things about your daughter’s life, and give your heart the time and space it needs to start to heal. Time does not heal all wounds, but I will say, time does start to lessen the pain caused by those wounds. I hope you have or would consider seeking a counselor. Someone that you can be raw and honest with. Someone who can guide you and give you tools to move forward. My counselor, of 7 years now, has taught me so much and given me tools to deal with my grief and hurt and every day life. Some days, I take it one day at a time. Others, I take one hour at a time. There are even days, I really have to focus on just the next 5 mins and what I need to do to get through them and when I do, I focus on the next 5, then I realize, I just made it through another day. I am much stronger and for the first time in my life, I have hope. I pray you find this. Sending hugs and love your way.

I know I do need to be in therapy and medication it may help can't hurt as long as they don't commit me when I speak my true feelings I went once after she died but they wanted me to go inpatient for awhile to get medicated faster so I did not go back in fear of them putting me in against my will do not want to live but I will not do anything to bring more pain to my other children I'm so tired of all the pain life has brought me tired of being strong all I wanted was to finally have some form of content with my life but instead it only got worse can not imagine being here looking back 10-15 years thinking how long I had to live without her but I know when my time is over I have 2 kids that is going to hurt and that hurts my heart too but I do know this pain is soul breaking and I would not remain in this life to ever go through it double I could not go on will not the phone call from my oldest child having to call and tell me is burned into my brain I hear it all the time every second of that whole night is if I ever receive another like that I will leave then could not take it again
