I'm so terribly sorry for your loss, Robin.  It's such a horrible tragedy.  I too lost my only daughter.  She was killed in an accident with an impaired driver.  She was at college when it happened.  The driver got 120 days and probation for taking a life.  It's all so unfair.  I know just getting through the morning at work is hell for you. And for those people who compare this to the loss of of a mother or father I just want to scream "When you lose all your children then come and tell me you know how I feel!"  They do not have a freaking clue.  This loss is so off the charts they can't have the slightest idea.  I am sending you a hug.  Please be gentle with yourself because the world really doesn't get it.  ~ Patty

Hello Robin. Sadly I am a mother who also lost her only child and daughter in a car accident . I also along with my husband feel like no one really understands and have been shocked at what some well meaning family and friends have said to us. I have distanced myself from many and can't cope with socialising any more. I returned to work too ,for almost a year ... I felt as though I didn't have the space to think about my daughter and I cried the moment I got in my car to go home. We sold up and now live on a boat . I'm working part time again for a while but I'm not as I used to be and the world has changed forever .
I'm so sorry you lost your precious daughter and your grandchild , that is unbelievably cruel .
