My daughter of 32 died this past June. She had 2 children, a son almost 13 and a daughter that had just turned 9 June 1. I don't know to do, I still haven't grieved the way that I feel I should.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss Terry. You will heal in time. In Psalms 31:9-10 David expresses his grief to God-Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak. God knows your feelings Terry and he will comfort you and restore your joy. In Isaiah 51:11 it says The ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing;everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

My deepest condolences to you. I agree, its something you won't be able to get over however you need to grieve. You need to mourn, you need to get your anger, fears, tears , every thing out. Take as long as you need. If you believe in a higher being, this is the time to ask for his strength, his loving arms, protection for the kids and mercy. Lastly, keep your daughter's memory alive.Talk about her to her children, do a collage of her pictures, do a scrapbook with them. Show her videos.God bless you guys!

You will grieve in your own time. The time will come...and you will sit back and have your moment. Don't ever feel bad if you have not grieved like you feel you should have. It's a huge loss (and I'm very sorry for your loss btw!) Maybe you are trying to be strong for everyone else--so you don't feel that you've had your proper grieving for your daughter??



Time is really the only healer for this kind of loss. I hope things settle for you and that you can find the strength to get through this. I've lost a child and I turned to specific things. It really depends on you and what you feel works for you.

Thats something you will never forget, and it won't be easy to try to move past it. I have never lost a child myself, but i know someone who has. Try doing stuff with her children that you know she would do and like to do with them and don't be afraid to talk about her with anyone. I'm sure it's not any easier on her children, but they need you to be there for them and to be strong for them
