Also letting go of 22 year old daughter

I've been reading a number of posts today about parents letting their child go and decided to add my own. Our daughter, a heroin addict, has been told she has until June 1st to leave home. I have no idea where she will go and I fear what evils may be awaiting her out there.

I know I did not cause her to use, to lie, and to steal but, right now, I feel I have failed.

I believe God is loving, watchful and powerful to save but, right now, I feel He's turned away.

I understand how it is often through suffering that we become stronger but, right now, I cannot see one step in front of me.

For those of you who've been through this, how do you best love your child once they are gone? Or do you stop focusing on that, and begin to love yourself again....
