Emotions are strange things. Trying to process them as they come and go in waves today. 2 years ago today I lost my stepdaughter in a horseback riding accident. I have relived that day every day since. Some days are easier than others emotionally but I don’t understand why. The outcome of that day will never change but it still drives me to keep working on being the best version of myself and to not give up. I stopped drinking several months before her accident. I also know I can never go back to drinking because I will use it to try to numb that pain and that will never be possible. I found this written on her little chalkboard on her nightstand the morning after her accident. It’s like she knew and was leaving us a message. Though I still don’t and may never understand why… rest well sweet girl I love you and miss you.

I hate reading this! Unfortunately I know your pain too well. My 8 year old daughter died 3/21/23 I am not the same person I was before never will be. She was my whole heart. Keep taking care of yourself.

I am not the same person either, and never will be. There is no getting over it or getting by it. I have learned that I just have to learn to live with it. Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry you too know this pain. One day at a time.
