[quote=Anonymous]I'm so very sorry, OP.  :(

I don't have the right words, so I'll leave you with these from Wind River...

"I'd like to tell you it gets easier, but it doesn't.

If there's a comfort, you get used to the pain if you let yourself.  I went to a grief seminar in Casper... don't know why... just... It hurt so much.

I was searching for anything that could make it go away.
That's what I wanted this seminar to do, make it go away. 
The instructor come up to me after the seminar was over, sat beside me and said:

"I got good news and bad news. 
Bad news is you'll never be the same. 
You'll never be whole. Ever. 
What was taken from you can't be replaced. 
Your daughter's gone.

Now the good news... as soon as you accept that, as soon as you let yourself suffer, allow yourself to grieve, you'll be able to visit her in your mind, and remember all the joy she gave you. All the love she knew.

Right now, you don't even have that, do you?"

He said, "that's what not accepting this grief will rob from you".  If you shy from the pain of it, then you rob yourself of every memory of her, my friend.  
Every one. 
From her first step to her last smile. You'll kill 'em all.

Take the pain. 
Take the pain, Martin. 
It's the only way to keep her with you.
