What a tragic situation for you and your family! I'm so sorry for you all. It's hard to lose someone that you love so dearly but you can be sure your daughter is up in Heaven and out of pain. You will all be reunited with her again eventually in God's time. My husband of 31 years died a year ago of lung cancer. I understand the feeling of absolute loss. I miss him terribly. However, I just take each day at a time and remember the good times. What helps me is that I pray and talk to God daily. It helps a lot. My prayers get answered and life is finally beginning to look a little more cheerful than it was a year ago.

Your situation is much more tragic than mine because it wasn't expected. My husband was 83 with lung cancer so we did expect his death. Just take all your feelings and sadness and talk to God about them. He will be there for you and help you get through this very sad time. Also you have family members who need you and you have to keep your health up with the breast cancer. Maybe you should get treads for the steps as your daughter suggested. It's a good idea if you can do it.

If you feel you want to talk, I am here. Since my husband died I have a lot of time and am alone quite often. I will also say a prayer for you and the rest of your family in this trying time.
I wish you the best.
PML

Thank you for the kind words PML. I just needed to share my story. Sometimes it is lonely. People are super uncomfortable with my pain and I don't want to be a downer. My daughter's twin sister talks to me about her and we talk like she is present, just in the next room. That is how I cope. I remind myself that her spirit is right there with me. Sometimes that gets me through the moments, but some days, like yesterday, I just don't know if I can or want to go on. Am I always going to have these terrible feelings of guilt? I am supposed to protect her.
The hugs and prapers from this group are greatly appreciated.
