My daughter died on Christmas day, and I am struggling this year.

[VilootShesCute]

She was 9 years old and it was 6:50am 8 years ago Christmas day she went peacefully in my arms.

I can talk about it to family and friends but this year, I don't know, it's just hitting me harder. I don't want to put too much on to anyone else close to me so am trying to be strong but Christ, it is not easy. Please can I ask everyone to just think of my beautiful girl on Christmas day and without sadness, send love to her wherever she may be.

Bless you. Thinking of you. I am so sorry.

I am so sorry. Thinking of you and your daughter.xx

Thinking of you and your beautiful girl today, wishing you peace.

This is the saddest thing to read today. Today must be so hard for you. for you and your special girl.

I read this when you posted and just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you and your daughter today.

Thinking of you today, OP

I have been crying for all of you who have suffered such painful losses - I'm so sorry. Even if it's not an anniversary, I guess Christmas can be bitter sweet for anyone who is bereaved. It must take such courage to just carry on. Sending you all love, and for you and for your lovely daughter, OP.

Thinking of you and your wonderful little girl with much love

to you OP, and to everyone else missing someone this Christmas x

Honestly you lot have really grounded me today I am so so grateful. Dd2 is happy on her kindle cuddled with her wonderful aunty and ds is drinking non alcoholic rose (yuk) and happy as larry because I am way more relaxed than usual. Grief is very lonely, you guys have lifted some of that for me

Thinking of you
Grief is so lonely

I am glad they are having a good day and you feel more relaxed. Grief is lonely but you're not alone.

We thought about you and your little girl today. Sending you warmest wishes

I agree, grief is very lonely. I'm so pleased you've had a better day this year. Your daughter (and you) were in my thoughts x

You are in my thoughts and heart. I am thinking of you and your perfect dd xx

I said a prayer for you & your DD today. Glad the day went as well as could be hoped for.

Viloot I'm so sorry that your lovely girl couldn't stay with you longer. Words cannot express how sorry I am to read your story. I am sure that wherever she is, she knows just how adored she was, as I'm sure she did when she slipped away safe, warm and loved in the arms that had held her since she was born. I hope that you find some peace. I was thinking of your little girl today.

viloot I have just read your post and wanted to say how sorry I am, you paint such an amazing picture of your lovely dd I'm glad you are getting through today and it sounds like you are being an amazing mum to your DC, I can't imagine how hard this must be,I have an 9 year old DD and the thought of what you have been through is unbearable.

We lost our lovely dmil 3 years ago on 17th of December it was so sudden and unexpected she was only 60 but loosing a child is something no one should go through, I am so sorry for you loss I'm going to light a candle to think of you, your DD and the rest of your family.

I really hope you find some peace in 2017 and can access the counselling you need. Thank you for sharing your story about your amazing DD.
for you and everyone who has lost someone.

with love and best wishes, sound like she was a lucky girl to have you and all of you on this thread.
