Al;though it is 25 years or so since my daughter passed away - her disabilities were extensive and complex - I will never ever forget the pain and frustration of not being able to comfort her. It feels like a failure, it feels unjust, it feels just indescribably bad.
You love your daughter, and that makes your pain worse, but it also means you are giving here everything you can (even though at times you may doubt yourself) and doing your very best. None of us can ask for more.
You're safe here, and among friends. Don't feel shy of telling us more or of asking any questions which may occur to you. The more we get to know each other, the easier it will be to find ways to help and support you.
I look forward very much to hearing more about you and about your daughter, and look forward to getting to know you.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard
