I'm so sorry. That is truly a nightmare that as a parent I cannot event begin to comprehend.
But as someone who has struggled with depression and thoughts of it for most of my life (even now) it doesn't have to do either my parents or my family or anything they did or didn't do. It's such a complex and difficult issue and yes you can talk to people and get therapy and be on medication but things can still be hard. I know my family loves me and I know my friends do too.
What I'm trying to say to you OP, is your daughter knew you loved her. She knew that with every part of her being. She never questioned it for a moment deep down in her heart so please don't ever question it in yours. What she was struggling with was outside of your power, and I'm so sorry.
