I am new to this website....I finally realized I needed to surround myself by others who have lost a child or loved one. I lost my daughter on May 10th, 2011. She was 1 day shy of 3 months old....Its a very sudden and complicated loss. I was a full time mother, going to school full time and working a part time job to support my daughter. Her father was no longer in the picture and I had met someone else towards the end of my pregnancy. He wanted to help raise her with me and be the father she was never gonna have. He watched her a lot for me. To help the stress. I was looking for a permanent solution for a baby sitter just wasn't having any luck. The weekend of Mothers Day I was going to take my boyfriend and daughter down to Ohio to spend it with family. I woke her up that friday she seemed sleepy and out of it, I didn't think to much of it since she was just diagnosed with acid reflex and wasn't feeling that well. On the way to Ohio I realized she hadnt cried for a bottle so I pulled over and found her unresponsive. I called 911 and they took her to the near by hospital. It took them 45 minutes to revive her. Since that hospital wasn't equipped to deal with pediatric patients they flew her by helicopter to Mots Hospital in Ann Arbor. They found a bleed in her brain and told me she was brain dead and would in a short time be released from life support. They did tests after tests and still no life was left in her. After 4 days on May 10th at 5:39pm I let her have her angel wings. It turns out my boyfriend at the time purposely dropped her to the floor while I was at work and never told me about the incident. He is currently in jail and awaiting trial in April. I have no idea how to deal with all this. I  am on medication for depression, sleep and anxiety. This holiday coming up has been hell on my heart. I dont know what to do so I wanted to surround myself by others who may know what I am going through or just someone who cares enough to give me some advice.

Jessica. I'm so sorry for your loss. Very sorry. I have three precious boys and love them more than anything in the world. Peace to you during this holiday season. Take care. I pray justice is served for your precious baby girl.

Hi Jessica,

Big hugs to you. And so sorry for the loss of your beatiful baby girl. I pray for you to find peace in your heart. Know that you are not alone. We are all here unfortunately because we grieving the loss of our loved ones. Although, i cant exactly relate to your pain of lossing your baby girl, i do have a lot of pain inside my heart for the loss of my husband and my father. At the end of the day, we can relate to similar emotions. And most of all we can help each other by listening..

i am here to listen. and can be a friend to you during these difficult moments.

Take Care,

Amanda

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
