Hi I am so very sad for your daughter and your familys loss.This story is so so similar to my own.I met my partner as your daughter did as friends for a long time I knew he had used and he started to cut it down quite dramatically.We became a couple and I had never been happier!What a gentleman I had found!We were so so happy we were 18 and planned our lives together.I fell pregnant after over a year and we decided to keep the baby as he had been told he couldn't father children and we thought this was our chance to have a child naturally!I will forever be thankfull we didn't make the other choice.I was 8 months pregnant and he had left for work (he drove trucks) about 45 mins after he left I could hear sirens and kept trying to call to see if he was ok,just had a feeling in my gut you know?I went to bed for a few more hous and when I woke my mum turned up to tell me he had been in an accident and a needle ahd been found in his pocket.I can never express the utter dread and hollowness I felt at that point in time.My daughter is 9 this year and is such a beautiful amazing little gorl.I truly believe she saved me.Just be there it is all you can do.I would have days where I basically couldn't function and my mum was just there,she didn't tell me how to feel she just let me know she loved me and held me and listened to me.One thing that used to drive me nuts was people seemed uncomfortable talking about him and that was all I wanted to do for a while so let her talk and vent.You seem to be a loving mother and I am sure you will instinctivley know what your daughter needs.
