Hi all my name is Lou and 30months ago I lost my eldest daughter . I work do what I am suppose to but I no longer feel complete , my heart hurts it’s like a physical pain when I think of her what the world and we lost the day she died. Trying to come to terms with her death day and the events that led to her death . I joined because I need to chat with like minded people , I feel people close to me apart from my husband expect me to be quote over it !! I’ve been told I should move on like she would want me too but I don’t want to , I want to talk about her I want to remember the silly things she did. For me acceptance is letting go and I’m not ready to do that
