My Life Forever Changed

My life was forever changed the morning of December 29, 2009 when my sweet daughter, Ashley, was taken from me in a car accident. Less than one mile from our home, for some reason, she went off the right side of the road and overcorrected; she hit a tree on the opposite side of the road. Ashley and I were each others best friend. Two peas in a pod, told each other "I love you" each and every day, shared everything with each other. She was only 22. My heart aches for her and I miss her so much. I had to struggle to raise her as a divorced mom, and it was just the two of us on our own against the world. Now I have to face the world on MY own and I don't even know how to begin...I'm trying to keep my faith in God, telling myself he had to have taken her for some reason. Maybe he needed her there with him, BUT I needed her here with ME. I feel so alone and empty without her...

We talked, laughed, shared lots. When he died I was condemned to a living hell. I have no other child, grandchild, daughter-in-law to love. I called him my soul mate and when he died my soul died too. My therapist tells me I will find a new reason to live, but I don't believe that. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Alone and empty partially describes how I feel, but the total heartache knowing I will never see my beautiful son again is so awful. He and I were so close and nothing is the same now...I will send you an email soon.
