Kim,
I am sorry for your loss and for the lack of how to share with your daughter. How old is your oldest daughter? I have also lost both of my parents, my mom suffered a stroke on October 9, 2009, and died on October 18, 2009. My dad at that point was cancer free, but his cancer came back in full force on November 8, 2009. I can relate to your daddy's little girl, because I have three brothers and I am the only girl. I was able to take family medical leave from my job and care for my dad for the last 4 months, he went home to be with his Lord and my mom this past Tuesday, the 9th of March. I have two daughters, 17 and 15 and they are both dealing with all this loss differently, but it is only through our faith that we have made it through the past 5 months at all. I don't know what to say to you, because it sounds like your relationship was strained with your mom- I will pray that you can find a good memory of some kind to share with your daughter.
