I new to this. My beautiful daughter passed away on the 24 November 2022 this year. Not even done her funeral yet. I heart is broken into. I cry every day it hurts. I feel like things will never get better. Feel like this pain I’m feeling will never go away. My beautiful daughter was 23 years old died a week after her 23rd birthday. She suffered really bad from mental health issues. Which lead her to drugs .

Hello @NikkiF929, thank you for starting this thread and bravely reaching out. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter - that is devastating. Your loss is so very recent so it is understandable that you are feeling like things will never get better. You might wish to take a look at our Grief Guide, as it can walk you through some of what you may experience in the coming weeks and months. The community is here for you too; many members have experienced the loss of a child and will understand some of what you are going through.
When you are ready, there is an organisation called The Compassionate Friends, which support anyone who has lost a child. They have a helpline on 0345 123 2304 or you can email them at helpline@tcf.org.uk. They also have a Grief Companion scheme where you can get 1-1 peer support from another bereaved parent. You can find out more about that here: https://www.tcf.org.uk/grief-companions/
Thank you again for reaching out - you are not alone.
Take care

Hi Nikki I am so very sorry for your loss I lost my lovely son my only child in March this year.He had COPD and cancer but for a good part of his adult life drugs overtook him.Myself and his late dad did all we could to help and support him as I am sure you did with your daughter.He was a good loving caring person drugs never took that away from him but I do think of the life he could should have had.I am sure you feel same about your daughter she was so very young.My heart goes out to you .You are mourning her loss and the loss of her future.I am so sorry there is nothing I can say really to help you I just hope you are getting some support from people who understand.But please carry on posting we understand xxx
