Dear @grievingmum, I’m so sorry to hear of your beautiful daughter’s passing. Your experience sounds so traumatic and I can understand why you’re devastated and why her death feels so wrong. She sounds like a gorgeous child and it makes no sense at all why she’s no longer there with you.
It must be incredibly hard to be strong for your sons while carrying your grief and it doesn’t help to have people ‘reminding you’ that they’re there. I hope you have support around you that understands and doesn’t put pressure on you.
Have you looked into seeing a grief counsellor? I found seeing a counsellor and learning about the five stages of grief was helpful after my brother died suddenly. It helped me realise that the feelings I was experiencing were normal because there were times I thought that I was losing my mind.
Sending you love and healing
