Oh Jazz, I am so sorry for your family's loss. That little girl will need much love and support from people who know her and knew her mother. You can help her by telling her stories about her mom, what a kind and wonderful person she was, and how much she loved her little girl.
Hugs to you, Jazz. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh, Scott, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to still be recovering from one loss and having another loss happen right on its heels. It's like being knocked underwater in the ocean and you keep trying to find your footing and catch your breath, but one wave after another just keeps knocking you right back down again. And once you finally right yourself it feels like a near drowning because it was.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hoping that the sands of time will heal your pain.

I am so very sorry for your family's loss.
My mother died in a car accident when I was 8. So, if I can offer some advice, please shower your niece's daughter with extra love, patience and tolerance in the coming years, because her pain has only begun, and it will last her whole life. She faces a difficult road. The death of a parent for a child doesn't become part of the past the way major losses do for adults-- it stays part of the present, and stays, and stays. I will pray for her.
