Did you ever look into counselling at all MIR?

My thoughts are with you. No parent should have to go through this. Thank you for being such an inspiration. If you can stay sober through such pain there is absolutely no reason I can't.

I knew this was going to be hard but losing a child takes hard to a whole different level. I want so bad for this incapacitating grief to be over but it isn't. I can't even look at a picture of her yet.

Things are better than they were and I am gratefull for all of you and others in my life that have extended a helping had

Grieving the loss of child is something that can't be explained to those who haven't been through the experience. It's like a part of you is ripped away from your life. It's painful and crippling. I totally understand the waves and the drowning part as I live like this day by day. It's been 8 months for me and I'm still unable to look at his FB page or pictures either.

Take care - I sent you a PM.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, MIR. It's not fair! Unfortunately grief runs on its own schedule, not ours. As hard as it is, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going on. I know it seems like you'll never smile again but one day things will be better. Not perfect, but better.

She would be so proud that you're still sober, MIR!

I do see a grief counselor once a week and it helps. Funny one of that has helped the most is a CD he gave me which is a combination of thoughts on grief combined with Christian songs relating to grief. I listen to it daily and it gives me some relief

It seems I have these melt downs from time to time. The intensity has not lessened but the frequency has.

Some days I do OK some days not.
