I lost 2 of my daughters, one at the age of 18, and my other daughter at the age of 28, she just passed last Memorial Day. Is there anyone else out there that have lost a child?

I haven't, but I can imagine the pain. I wish I could take some of the pain away from you. Bless you.

I can't even begin to imagine your loss and the pain you feel over your loss of two children, I am so very sorry. But I have seen what that can look like for the parents, and it's heartbreaking.

I helped a couple that were friends, and went through the two week long coming and going of people at their house, and just was doing dishes and food and just basically being there, as this was such terrible grief, I could only try to be comforting. My friends were teachers both, and so was the one of their two sons who took his life at age 27. It's heartbreaking, and the surviving son's grief was lost on the level of grief he felt for his parents, so he suffered in silence. I was very privileged to be there for him too to let him know it was okay to express his sadness and loss too.

Eventually the father found peace in his heart knowing his son no longer suffered from his mental illness and was okay now, but the mom never did.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughters. Nothing could be more tragic and unnatural than outliving a child, or children, in your case. I can’t begin to imagine that kind of pain. I know thier memories will be forever in your heart. Please take care of yourself. You have my deepest sympathies and prayers.🫂🙏
