This is my first time doing this so apologies in advance if i share too less/much. My beautiful 6 month old daughter passed away so suddenly christmas 2016. The awful memories of that day are with me forever from that day but sometimes i want to be able to beam with pride at how beautiful she was and such a calm happy baby always smiling and giggling. Im so scared those memories will fade. To me ots still like yesterday but everyone else i the world has moved on…im struggling to!! I still have no answers as they couldnt conclude a decision. No answers makes it harder to deal with the healin process.

Oh my dear I do feel for you in your pain. I don’t have any answers but I do wish you will eventually find some peace but always remember your darling daughter in a happy space. As you still remember her now I’m sure you always will, as all of us will remember our loved ones.

You are not alone in your grief at all. I lost my son aged 35 in March, have never experienced pain like it. I’m not sure if this helps but I lost my parents in the last few years, I know it’s totally different circumstances, but you do find peace eventually. With my son it’s so different grief, but have good and bad days. I really hope you find peace but remember the good days, and happy smiling face❤️ xx
