So sorry to hear of the many loved ones that departed so close to each other. Not that any other time would make it better, but I hear you when you ask how one is supposed to go on.

I've met some friends who have lost a mother at a young age and the child grows up happy if they have other loving caregivers, as you will be for your grandchild. Your pain in feeling for her not having her mother is a large part of the pain, you have lost your precious daughter.

My son died on New Year's eve - my only child Liam. He was 2 years and 2 months old. I know the first year was so hard, and the second year seemed even harder. In those days, I wished I had someone in my immediate space to care for, someone whose presence would force me to physically do something. About 2.5 years later I had my second son who has a disability. But I carry on and I get joy when he says and does certain things. I didn't have that when my first son had died and I had no-one else there to give some glimpses of joy or to bring a smile to my face. I now do things with enthusiasm for my son Joey.

I wish you peace and healing during this difficult time of year. It is difficult for everyone at this period, but for us who have lost a child during that time of year it is even harder I think.

Give your granddaughter a hug and kiss from me.

Hugs,
Esther

I am so glad your daugher left her voice on the phone my son never did and i don't have any recrodings of him because he hated leaving messages and when he did i would just earase them never dreaming i would need to hear his voice again and wouldn't be able to do it. There is nothing wrong with letting your 5 year old grandaughter carry around her phone she knows it was her moms and probably can still feel her presence on that phone and it
might even help her some she might be only 5 but she knows her mom is gone and whatever helps that poor baby get thru it let her have it.

My situation isn't anything like yours but like you I have lost alot of love ones just this year in january my husband totaled his motorcycle and was off for 6 months God was good to us and he is getting better everyday then in August my father passed away but we all were expecting it and knew it was for the best he had a long life and had cancer and was ready to go visit my mom and my 2 sisters who had passed on years ago, then nov 19th my 17 year old son was killed in a head on collision I know everytime you look at your grandaughter it has to hurt to see so much of your daughter in her, but also be glad you still have a part to hold on to we have nothing when our son was killed all chances of him leaving something on this earth being a part of him was killed with him. I pray for you to have strength I know this is going to be a long journey and a very hard one im just starting on mine and don't even know when to begin but maybe with everyone on this site we can all get thre together
