John, I am sorry for your loss, and cant even begin to understand the pain that you feel daily. The picture of your daughter is beautiful, her personality shows through her smile. I wanted to write to you to express my condolences. I am not sure if you are a Bible reader, however the Bible has helped many to cope with the death of loved ones. At John 5:28,29 the Bible promises that millions that have died will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, conditions according to Psalm 37:29. When you get a chance, please read these scriptures in your Bible.
John, I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I lost my only son on June 8, 2009 to complications of pneumonia exactly 10 days after my son's doctor told him that he wasn't "that sick and didn't have pneumonia or the flu". The pain of losing such a wonderful son is so bad that sometimes I think (and hope) I'll die from the pain. I have to stay here for my husband & daughter, plus elderly parents, and to keep Todd's memory alive in every way that I can think of. He truly deserves that. He touched so many lives in his too short life. I never realized how many until his funeral and the months following. He was kind, intelligent, funny, gentle and loved all animals, especially cats, big and small. He lived for technology and always had us laughing.. In spite of having mild Asperger's, which wasn't diagnosed until he was 28, he had many friends and was loved by all who met him. Tell us more about your daughter, if you want. I would love to hear more about her. I hope sharing some of the pain helps. It's how I cope. Janet
Hi John, My youngest daughter died on Aug. 11, 2009 of pancreatic cancer. Seven months later on Mar 1st, 2010 my oldest daughter died, also of cancer. I agree with you, "it hurts like hell!" As Teresa says, the pain does soften but I don't expect it to ever go away. A large part of me is gone now but as you said, I must go on for my remaining daughter, my husband & the rest of my family because they are hurting also. So, we on this site, are all in the same sad boat. Love, Shirley
Hi John - I lost my only child, Tyler, at age 24 on 01/26/10, so I am quite a bit behind you. But I foresee nothing but pain and longing holding on to me for the rest of my life. I see you are in Southingtin - I'm in Bethel.

I understand your pain and anguish...I lost my daughter Veronica 12 yrs ago next week. She died in a car accident...I think of her every day. She is immortalized on my license plate "MISSUVV". V V was her nickname! She was 17 yrs old...with time the sadness and pain in my heart has soften, but you don't forget.
