She has been gone a month

My little girl died a month ago. She was 28 but she will always be my little girl. God I miss her. She died on my 5 year sobriety birthday and I am sure she was telling me how proud she was and that her passing would be a constant reminder of the gift of sobriety. Months before she died she said I will go to the meeting to get your coin unless I'm dead and we laughed. I said you better not die on me

I'm sober today and great full for things I do have and the wonderful memories of the things I don’t

Oh MIR, I am so sorry.

The pain doesn't ever go away completely; you simply learn to live with it. Even so, meaning, purpose and happiness do return to your life.

I lost my son 28 years ago.

I felt pain in my heart as I read this post. I simply cannot imagine....
But her passing on your sobriety date is something of grace.
Your strength is so very admirable.
