Nancy, another poster here, Phoebe, has also lost a daughter. In her
case it was cancer. Everyone hopes they go before their children, but
it doesn't always happen that way. My sympathies to you.

Thanks for the sympathies. What helped me a lot was an online group strickly for parents who have lost children. We have a different sort of grief. A friend of mine has lost both her adult children. Mine was also an adult (29). The most awful pain I've observed was that of mothers who lost small children.

My best friend lost her son at thirty, he was a drug using ass pain, but as
soon as he was dead, he became some sort of angel in her eyes.
I'm convinced that she died out of a desire to be with him.
It was so said to watch her just keep going down physically and not
regret the fact that she would probably die.
I feel very sorry for her daughter, who is a fine, decent woman and never
gave any grief or worry. Bet she resents being placed a distant second
to a dead bum.
And it's true, women who lose small children seem to grieve forever.
