Unhappy Needed to post, my biggest LOSS ever, PLEASE READ

Well, I haven't posted in so long. This has all been so hard for me...everything! But I wanted to let you all know that I had to bury my precious angel daughter today and this is such a struggle and loss for me. I received so much support from here before and needed to write about this. She looked like Sleeping Beauty in her coffin. I can't think of any worse pain that I've ever been through. She has had difficulties throughout her life, injured from vaccines from almost the start of her life, and I have always covered the pain with opiates, the wrong outlet, of course, but I will always know that I never left her and gave her all the love I could. She will be greatly missed, and I will still struggle every day with my demons. But I needed to express my sorrow to you all because we ALL know pain, but this week I've experienced the worst pain of my life!! I feel so empty and alone, but I know my daughter will never suffer again. She was my life, my heart. It's so easy to want to backslide as I have done so many times because this has been never ending. But I wanted to thank you for all of your support and am sorry I haven't been around so long, but I hope to be back more often. I feel so alone right now. Thanks for reading this...our lives are not easy, but this added only makes it harder and I just would give up right now if it weren't for my little toddler. Thank God for her. She will be my biggest source of strength. I feel like I am in a nightmare right now and can't get out of it. Thanks for all your support and love. Sometimes we are the only ones who understand why we got in this crazy predicament to begin. I know why I did. I only wish I could see my "baby" again. I just am in so much pain right now and can't even express how I feel, but thought that coming back here would be therapeutic for me. Thanks for reading this. I need all the love and support I can get right now. Love to you all!

Snowwhite, oh dear. I wish there was something I could say. That you could even find the strength to come here and type it out is amazing to me.

There are few pains in life greater than a parent having to bury a child. Your grief must be tremendous. Please accept what little support I can offer and know that your pain has touched me tonight.

Snowwhite - I am so very sorry to hear of the devastation you are going through with the loss of your daughter. There is no loss like the loss of a child. Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Snow, I am so very sorry to read of your loss. A parent should never have to see a child buried. Just reading this, I want to give you my shoulder to cry on.

Know we are here to listen to you, day or night.

I am so tremendously sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Only so you know I can sort of understand...I lost my son 6 yrs ago. Please be very gentle with yourself and coming here will help you with hands to hold and many cyber hugs. Grief is a process and it cannot be rushed, but this I can promise you time does bring healing.

Snowwhite,

I wish I could have the just right words to help you feel no more pain, but I don't and all I can say is that you need to look to your Higher Power for the peace and serenity you need to get through. And....after that you Sober Recovery Family is here if you need to vent, cry or remember your precious daughter. My prayers are with you.

I beleive that laughter is the only cure for grief, and that love is stronger than death.

We in cyber space are sitting with you. You are not alone although I understand that this acute shock and grief is sitting within you and is something that none of us can bear part of for you. We can try our best to be there for you. I remember a counselor telling me that the day would come when it would not be the first thing we think of when we wake up....I found that to be a very compassionate and understanding statement. And it is true. But for now, it is too soon...it takes time. You will be in shock for a time, the blow is way too big to take in all at once.

You are in my prayers. As I look at the faces of my two beautiful kids I cannot even begin to truly understand how you must feel right now. As Alrea already said - no parent should ever have to bury a child. May you somehow find comfort and peace in the future - they say that time heals. Until then we will hold you close in our thought and prayers.

Snow White,
I'm so very sorry to hear that you have lost your beloved daughter. I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. And if I knew what to do to make it all go away, I would do it for you in a flash. Please try to take care of yourself in this time of desperate grief and loss. Dwell on the beautiful memories that you have of her and let her rest in the arms of the Lord. Again, I am so sorry. ((((((((((Caring Hugs))))))))))))

Snow.... We lost our baby daughter on April 3, 1989. I remember leaving her at the cemetary, and the horrible days that followed.

What I can tell you is that for me, grief was like a lightning bolt... jagged and sharp.

I would go along, getting a little better each day, then suddenly plunge back down - nearly to the place where I started.

Then I would begin the slow climb back out and up only to be tossed back down again... only not so far this time.
