My 23 yr old daughter was killed in January. Her car was disabled on the side of the 91 and the driver of another vehicle fell asleep and hit her. I'm really having a hard time with this and today has been terrible.

What can I do next?

K.,

I'm so sorry about your daughter. I personally don't know what's it's like to lose a child, but I have lost both of my parents within two years. Know that God loves you and is a source of comfort in these times. I'll be praying for you, that you'll feel God's loving arms around you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. There is a group that is international and iti s called "Compassionate Friends". it is for the sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers grandparents or anyone who has suffered a loss. It is a great group and helped me to get thru my loss. They usually have chapters in different cities. They encourage talking about the departed one. Blessings to you and your family.
Sincerely, L.

I am really sorry to hear about your loss. It's ok to cry. And time may never heal, but it may lesson the hurt....even if it's years. Just take it one day at a time, or one minute at a time. Whatever it takes.

I am so humbled by your loss, I am just in tears thinking about you. Call Loma Linda University, they have grief support groups including Compassionate Friends. Their number is ###-###-####. Grief is like a spiral, you don't start at one end and go down a path to "get over it". You may have a better day one day, then be right back at square one the next day with really intense fresh pain. If you don't have a Pastor that can help you, I can recommend going to the Packing House (Calvary Chapel) in Redlands, or Harvest in Riverside--call them; our own church, Community Cross in Highland, ask for Pastor Bob or Pastor Rob. ###-###-####. My dear, I am just sending you a hug and crying with you over the internet. I am so sorry. I hope you can at sometime begin to have some peace and memories of her that bring you joy once again.

I don't know what it is like to lose a child, but i do know what it is like to lose my dad. My prayers are with you. He was my best friend. Every day after he was gone was hard but it did get easier and now i still think of him often. It is easier. Remember all the good times and what she did not what she could have done or been.
God Bless
