Lost my daughter to an overdose

[faith177]

March 19th I lost my daughter to an overdose, she was seventeen years old. Just wondering if there were others here who have lost a child and how you are managing. I thought I was doing okay but it seems to be getting harder, I am more tired and irritable with others lately. I sometimes don't want to get out of bed and do anything or talk to anyone.

I do not know this pain, but I will pray for you to have peace that passes all understanding in Jesus name.

Yes, I cannot imagine what you are going through. But recently my little sister lost to her best friend to suicide. She is very irritable and gets annoyed very easily. She has days where she cannot understand how other can just live life without feeling grief. But I think greif is a long road. I am very sorry for what went on I might not know what to say to you nor my sister but I am her to listen...

I am sorry for your loss. <3 I haven't lost a child and can't imagine how you feel. I lost my partner 17 months ago (he was younger than me, he was 26) but it means I have watched his mother recently. Also his dad died two years before and I watched his gran grieving. My dad lost my brother 4th April.

They each grieved differently and don't have the Lord to help them. Each journey I have watched has been individual and different but after a while they seemed to stop always having sad eyes and were able to find enjoyment through their pain. Now it's something they carry in their hearts but function well.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I pray that you can feel God's love and support soon through this. <3

Grief is usually healed very slowly and only by talking it out. Ask your Church Pastor if they have a program to help with this like a Stephen Ministry. Pray often.
