My daughter Cindy died of an accidential prescription drug overdose on October 25,2006. She was 38. I have always felt that she needed me the most and somehow even though I did all I could for her over the many years of her struggles I feel I let her down somehow in the end and should have been able to "save" her. I know this is not rational and I couldn't be with a grown woman everyday nor control her actions, but I still feel I should have been able to stop her from taking so many drugs. I light a virtual candle for her everyday at a wonderful web stie www.gratefulness.org and tell her how much she means to me and that I am praying for peace for her soul. I don't think time will help my ache for my daughter heal. She is a part if me I will never let go of or forget or stop missing. I think with the passing of time we learn to function and go on but the ache is still with me and it has been 15 months now. It does help to read the postings here and write to those that touch our heart, so I certainly welocme you to our group and send you hugs this day. Judy, Cindy's Mom |
