Our beautiful daughter has just died. She was our only child. I don’t know what to do. The pain is unbearable and I feel like I am constantly on the verge of a panic attack. What do I do?

How utterly heartbreaking, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine

She was loved and will be remembered always. Please share a little about her if you would like to x

She must've felt so unbelievably loved while she was here. Please allow others to care for you now, as you have cared for her. I'm so sorry op Flowers

I'm so sorry. You both sound lucky to have had each other.

I'm so sorry. I've lost my only daughter and the world has stopped spinning for me.

The immediate 'hard stop' of all of the busy work was shocking and confusing for me. Planning the funeral is the hardest thing you'll ever do, but you will do it with all of that love and care you've given her over her short life.

I do hope you have lots of people to support you through this awful time.

We just lost our beautiful 2year old daughter on the 22nd August 2023. She fell ill so quickly and passed before we even knew what was really happening. The doctors tried to save her for over an hour but we knew it was too late. I feel broken. The guilt of thinking if there was more i couldve done to help her is killing me and I feel completely lost without her. I have another older daughter and trying to be there for her is difficult. My partner is being amazing and looking after us both but I know he is struggling too. I dont know how I can go on without her. She was an amazing little girl, truly one of a kind. I miss her so much.

I'm so sorry @Gonetoosoon - if you start your own thread it might be a good way to get support? Sometimes people like to use them to share memories etc and it's nice to have.

I am so, so sorry Leza1 and Gonetoosoon.

There are many of us here on this board who have lost our precious children. We talk to each other, we share our grief and we offer support and understanding.

For me, this board has been, and continues to be, a safe place to come when the rest of the world is just too hard to deal with.

Keep posting and know that we are listening. Flowers

I am so sorry @Gonetoosoon . My heart breaks for you. It is just indescribable. I’m here if you want to talk. Xxxxxx
