I am so sorry, was she disabled? My son Christopher died in July from secondary bone cancer he died within 3Months we cared for him for 47 Years . He had learning disability , and mild cerebral palsy. It is so hard losing them,if your daughter had a learning disability or Autism, think about looking up LeDeR on the internet, they are collecting data on people dying early that have learning disability or Autism. It is to see if they can have better treatment. You fill a form on line ,and anyone can do it. It is to see if more of them are dying before their time. You take care of yourself,and it is no good saying time heals it does not always. Thinking of you
