Hello @daniellemarie I am Scott and first I want to say how sorry I am to read of the loss of your daughter. I cannot imagine how difficult your journey is.

I lost my wife after her 14+ year war with brain cancer and I still struggle with the loss of her. The anniversary of her passing is coming up in just a few days. I dread it and find it difficult to adjust to my different life.

If I might ask, what’s your biggest challenge?

Strength, courage, and peace.

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I lost my daughter in 2008. I also lost a granddaughter to anacephaly in 2009. Then I lost my husband this year. It is hard to lose anyone. But a child it takes a part of you. The only thing I can say is you take it day by day and sometimes hour by hour. I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you.

@daniellemarie I just want to say how sorry I am about the loss of your daughter. I think that's a mother's worst nightmare. Not only is a loss of a dearly loved one, but it's simply out of sequence, not right. I wish I had some suggestions but I too do not how I could handle such a tremendous loss.

@daniellemarie I'm so sorry for your loss .Loss of a loved one is terrible but loss of a child I think must be worst since she was a part of you . My sympathy to you . If you can keep yourself busy with work or helping others this will make it easier for you its when your alone that is the worse . Been through this many times.

My husband died now almost 20 yrs ago and I miss him more today then I did then. Probably since I'm retired now and think of him more. I pray things will get better for you . Time heals but there is a grieving period you will go through with no time limit on this . With friends and talking to God if you do this will all help . Bless you

Danielle, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. My heart breaks for you. Our circumstances are different, but I too am a mother who lost a child. A baby boy. It has been two and a half years now since my world was shattered with his death. It is as if everything you've ever known is horribly different. I feel like completely different person. Everyone experiences grief differently. For me, I have gone through incredibly dark times where I did not want to go on. I think being heard and expressing grief are important...so important. Thank you for reaching out to others. If you want, I will share with you some things that have helped me on the journey of heart crushing grief. It is still so raw and painful for me, the death of my baby. Being part of a grief support group, where others could relate to some of the emotions was a tiny help for me..realizing I wasn't the only one suffering with grief. Sending love and strength your way. Danica is a beautiful name
