11 weeks ago my daughter was murdered and the investigation is still ongoing, im struggling as a parent to adjust to the news that she’s no longer coming home. We have a long way to go to get justice but not knowing where to turn or how to deal with this is destroying me. Im unable to return to work as finding it difficult to be around alot of people I have familybut dont want to burden them with everything

Hello @Emma2026,
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter 11 weeks ago. That sounds incredibly painful and traumatic for you, and the fact that the investigation is still ongoing sounds especially difficult. It’s completely understandable not to feel able to return to work, and not to want to burden your family with how you’re feeling. Please know that you’re not alone in what you’re going through.
