I just lost my daughter in a tragic hiking accident. She was 26 years old..she just missed her 27th birthday. I am devastated. She was all i had left in this world. I am trying to make sense of this senseless death. She was gifted, talented, and beautiful. She was my little angel and my reason for living. How am i supposed to go on now? she was a gift from God...she was never supposed to be. She was a miracle child. I don't understand why God took her home. I just need some peace.

I lost my daughter at age 24 suddenly too. I don't understand why God does what he does. I'm only into 6 weeks. Does life return? I hear from some it does from some it does not. The only only only good from us losing our daughters, is knowing they dont have any suffering left to do on this earth. That is the only thing I can hold on to. The rest of me for myself life is dead.
U are never the same person after the loss of a child. L lost my daughter Sivine at the age of 18 and 6 months. It has been a year and few months now and the pain gets worse. I guess i am realizing that I will never see her again.I sleep a lot and pray to see her in my dreams. work is the only thing that keeps me going. I feel with each and every mother who lived through that experience, and i advise you to make somehing positive out of the loss, invest your energ in soothing others misery, it might help, do it for her.
