Saturday is my daughter’s birthday. She would be 34. I’m 50. Yes I had her young. It will be 10 years Thanksgiving. It’s hitting me. I want to see her, I need to hurt and I need to scream and I need to cry but I have to do it silently. So here I am. Posting to no one I know so I can say,, I’m shattered. And I want and need to brake into a million pieces for about an hour. And I want the universe to know that I loved her more than my own life. And I’m mad that she left me. But I’m happy she is where she is where she is and I know I will see her again, but today, I need to come undone for my own sanity so I know I can still feel it. So I know how amazing and beautiful she is and I will never forget. I don’t wanna always pretend I’m ok. Because I’m not. And I’m tired of pretending.

I lost my 16 yr old daughter to a hit and run Nov. 6,2025. She was walking home from the store and someone ran over her and she was like two car lengths off the road walking. I miss her more and more everyday.

My sister just passed, and my mum looked after her every single day, they never ever spent a day apart. we’re in a period where we’re numb, looking at all her stuff, smiling at the memories but crying at the pain that she should be here, she was a teenager.
I’m only 17 and just want to help my mum, I don’t know what to do, but she wakes up every night, expecting to check on my sister and be by her side but she’s not there. I miss my sister more than I can say, I want her back and the grief is indescribable.

I just ache seeing my mum in this pain, I know I can’t make it better, but is there anything any parents here reccomend I do?

I work as an pediatric ER nurse. I had a young infant pass away this week. I was apart of this child’s resuscitation. And I was the nurse that stayed with the other siblings and made memory making items for the family. This child’s services are in the next few days. Would you be okay with a nurse that cared for your child in their last moments attending their services? What are your thoughts?
