[quote:Anonymous Coward 62071838:MV8yNzQ3Nzc0XzQ3OTczMDYxXzcxNDQ0Njgy] I am sorry for your loss. Beware impending guilt... it is expected, normal, and not warranted. Guilt about what might have been done to prevent the death is also normal. Parents feel their job is to protect their child, and the “what if’s,” “why didn’t I’s,” and “if only’s” are natural, but should not lead to self-blame. No matter how irrational these feelings, it is helpful to talk them out, sharing with family and particularly nonjudgmental people who have been there such as members of The Compassionate Friends. Keeping a journal can help express what it would have been like to say good-bye, to address unfinished issues, and to say things left unsaid. Eventually, the burden of guilt and need to blame oneself will move from being a main focus of grief to a level of acceptance that many tragedies in life are not preventable or foreseeable. Lastly, death is part of living... in fact, it is the culmination of life. Celebrate her life. [/quote]

EDIT:
I wanted to change the subject title so I could communicate with a few of the people from this thread. I found myself not wanting to post and draw anymore attention due to the title (if that makes any sense).
I don't know why but that's the way I feel.
She was only 28. I have never experienced death before. I had imagined one of my parents not my child.
I thought I was strong but I am not.
