Hi all
My beautiful daughter is going through so much sadness at the moment. Her partner committed suicide last week and she is, understandably, consumed by grief.
As her mum, I’m feeling useless, inadequate and powerless to help her through this. Any advice would be appreciated. I just want to take her pain away. She’s only 25. He was 24 and suffered with depression. He wanted to get better but he lost the battle. Thank you all in advance.

All you can do is listen and remind her that you will be there for her
