My 17 year old Daughter passed away in her sleep 5 weeks ago, She went to bed with a cold and never woke up again.

I feel like I am walking around in a daze, the idea that she has gone and that I can no longer see her just does not feel real!

I just cannot accept that she has gone? we have had the funeral and we have buried her ashes but this still feels like a nightmare that I will wake up from.

there are nights and days when all I do is cry then the next day I'm not! i just don't know how to deal with these feelings!

I cannot understand how a healthy 17 year old can fall asleep and never wake up!  We have been told it may have been Menigitis but may not know for at least 6 months.

I constantly feel like I have floods of tears inside me and if I let myself go then I will not stop crying.

  • I'm so sorry for you bereavement is something you can't process in your mind I find phoning helplines and taking is the only thing that helps me

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  Your daughter was so young and this must have been an enormous shock.  I wonder if you may not know for six months because there is an inquest, as the nature of the death is so unusual especially given her age. The legal and practical aspects are distressing and hard enough, never mind on top of grief.  You are in my thoughts.
