Last night my 24 year old daughter was crying about her dad being gone. She has a terrible time sleeping, as do and it is getting worse now as the first anniversary of Ken's death will be this wednesday the 27th of July.  She has a wonderful boyfriend and the talk about marriage all the time but she says she can't stand the idea of ken not walking her up the aisle.  Ken was a wonderful husban and although I am only 55 I feel like my life is over but her life has so many exciting chapters to be written.  I don't know what I can do to help her. She cries daily. I have told her ken would never want her this sad but it does not help.  I even find myself wondering if she would be this upset if it had been me and would trade places with him just to see her happy again! I feel so helpless, any suggestions?  I miss ken every day but she has the potential of a great life ahead of her, I just want to help her and see her happy again! Thanks, chris

I am sorry for your loss. I lost both my parents and most of all it kills me that my mom wo't be at my wedding someday or hold her grandchildren.

 

Maybe it would help her to actually see a counselor that specializes in the loss of a parent or an in-person grief support group?

 

Sounds like she needs more than just sage advice and a few reminders that he would want her to be happy. I will keep her in my prayers.
