Hi Isabella,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter.I understand how you feel because I lost my beautiful son 14 months ago. People have said things that have hurt me...like be grateful you even got to have a son, or they will insinuate that because I have another child that will make up for the one I lost. I have found that people are very quick to tell me how to grieve, how long to grieve, how we should celebrate holidays, how some good will come out of this. I want to tell them to get back to me when it happpens to them and see if they still feel the same. It is like living in a foreign land where no one understands me..except other parents who have lost  a child. I hope it was ok that I wrote back to your post. It is my first time posting on here. I will keep you and your beautiful girl in my prayers.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts Isabela. My deepest condolences on the loss of your daughter. I've found it helpful to share with others dealing with similar losses. Thinking of you. Robbie

Isabela,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter.  I lost my daughter a year and almost two months ago.  In the beginning it was such a blur and time flew by. Now it's day by day.  Some days are better than others.  I have found this site to be so much help as well as writing in a journal to my daughter.  I hope you are able to come on here and find that unfortunately we all have the same thing in common, but it is a tremendous help.  The people on here know exactly how we feel, they've lost a child too.  They don't judge you when you vent and they have a lot of good advice.  I'm sorry you had to find this site, but I welcome you and send you a hug.
