My baby took her life today.

[TCLouis]

I to will say i can never tell you Ithat, "I know how you feel".

Heartsick pain I would guess.

I will say, that her goodness, and love, and joy can and will always live on in your heart and it sounds like that is what she would have wanted!

[hithard]

My prayers and well wishes are with you and your family. Rest assured the lord is looking after her now. God bless.

I am so sorry for your loss.

We lost our oldest daughter in a car accident last October. It felt like I was punched in the chest when the trooper told me.
Prayer and family will help you get through.

Know that it IS NOT your fault! I've been LE for 25 years. If someone wants to do it they will find a way.

Prayers and condolences.

As a father of a Daughter of similar age, and one whom would shoot with me as well; I find my heart in heavy pain and have shed many tears for you my friend.

For a parent to bury a child,, it's unnatural. When the child takes their own life, you really feel like you did something wrong.
I would venture to say in 99% of the cases,,, the parent isn't at fault in any way. Forget that she used your ammo.
Do not dwell upon "Why?"
Look back upon all the years you did have her with you, and smile at all the good memories. I know you have many by your post.
I buried a son whom I never got to know. Almost 21 yrs ago. I find myself reflecting & wondering how he would have turned out.
But I can smile,, for when we lost him, I just accepted that God knew best & figured a new angel in Heaven needed her own baby to care for. Maybe your daughter is the new angel that was sent to care for a recently lost baby.
Answers to questions will never come.
But PLEASE believe this. God does know best, and my thoughts & prayers are with you my friend. I hope my experience gives you thoughts & comfort.

I am so sorry for the loss and the pain that you are suffering at this time. Losing a child is one of the most heartbreaking losses that one can suffer. But you can take some comfort in knowing that she is at peace. I will pray that you and your family will also be able to find some peace despite your sorrow.

I can't imagine the pain you are enduring as I have never lost a child.
I know what it is to lose loved ones through suicide and the grief is mind-numbing.

I will pray for you and your family.

I witnessed the pain my parents went through when they had to bury my brother. My father walked around for a week saying it is not right that a parent has to bury their child. It goes without saying that you and yours have been in my wife's and my prayers since I read the post. One thing that has always helped me is that I do truly believe that we go to a better place once we slip these mortal bindings. May you and your wife find some peace until you see her again.

[troyboy]

I have no words for the sorrow. Wish I could help you in some way. I am just so sorry.......

[GSRacer]

I am saddened by what has happened and will pray that God will provide you and your family some form of comfort.

When I first read this it REALLY HURT.

Now I remember the trip with my wife from the south rim of the Grand Canyon to Phantom ranch and back in one day. upon returning home watching the original cast of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

Then there was the trip with my daughter to N Minnesota. I drove all day and my daughter was sound asleep when we reached the camp grounds and finally found an empty camp site. I let Lara sleep while I put up the tent THE RIGHT WAY and put all of the gear in the tent. Woke up sleepyhead and she commented on how crowded the campgrounds were.

During the night a storm moved in and it seamed like I stood over her with a BIG towel to keep the moisture that was blowing THRU the fabric of the tent onto her for what seamed like hours to keep from waking her up. The lightning would have brought fear to many folks. In the mourning Lara woke up and commented on how quiet the camp grounds was considering all the tents she saw on her way to sleep.

We went outside and saw there were only about 4 of us with tents still standing and the rest were floating in the lake.

Yes memories are the things to cherish.

Yes I lost BOTH of them due to mental illness. Hold onto the wonderful memories as it WILL help ease the pain over time.
