Loss of my stepdaughter

My stepdaughter Jenna passed away suddenly on 12/6/23. She was autistic and living in a group home. She was thriving and had friends and purpose. She has been in my life for 21 years. I could not have loved her more!!! She was my best friend and we talked everyday. We still don’t know what happened. We think it was a sudden cardiac death due to her medications. I just can’t seem to find purpose in my life. Everything I did was for her and I miss her every single second of every single day. It just seems so unreal so in fair. I really done know how to go on without her. Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm so sorry to hear that - that must have been such a shock and definitely not fair. Yes, I find it's hard to go on without them. The best thing I've come up with is try to live the rest of my life for them - honoring them and their interests and causes. I know that can be little consolation though when in deep grief. I'm available if you ever want to chat or talk about her. Take care - Rose

Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
