Tomorrow it will be one year since my daughter's death and I'm really having a hard time with it. I still miss her, does it ever get easier. I want everyone to let the people you love know every day how you feel because you might not get the chance tomorrow. Because sometimes tomorrow does not come. I know my daughter knew I loved her but I wished I would have told her more. She beat so many odds that I guess I thought that she would keep beating them. She had a real bad case and she fought so hard and I was so proud of her and even in the end she thought of others before herself that she donated her body to science that maybe she might help someone not to go through what she had to all of her life. She was the bravest person I have ever known and she will always be my hero. I love you Elizabeth , my angel.

I am so sorry. I wish I could help or I wish that I could answer your questions.... just know there is support here and there are others who are in your shoes. I am sure some of them will post on here and be of more support than I can be right now. You have such sweet words to your Late daughter, I am sure she is in heaven reading them right now... I believe out loved ones are always with us-regardless of whether they are alive or dead.
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
Although there will always be a void there, it will get a little better with time.
That first year is pretty tough with the first holidays, birthday's etc. without your loved one. Your pain/grief is still so raw right now. With time that pain will lessen. You will find a time when you say to yourself, "I need to try to focus on something else, I don't like being this depressed and _____ would not want me to be like this." At least that was what happened in my situation.
There are still times now, 13 years later that I tear up, but now I can think back with fond memories and not so much pain. I hope this helps and please know I'm not trying to minimalize your pain/grief, just trying to offer hope. God bless.
Been there

I started to cry when I read your post.. It scares me because I think of my loved ones.. and how they would be if I wasn't here...
I am so sorry that you are going through so much pain... I can't imagine how you must feel... I am sure that your daughter knew how much you loved her ...I just wanted to say that as someone who has CF like your daughter did....I would want my family to do everything they could to be happy. I would want them to live life for me and enjoy everyday in my honor.....I wouldn't want them to be sad, (eaiser said then done) I would want them to know that I was safe in Gods hands.. breathing great and feeling wonderful. To me, if they were sad and depressed it would break my heart because it would be like giving CF double credit.. One for taking my life and second for taking my families......
I don't know if you believe in heaven or God but if you do, I hope that brings you some comfort.. knowing that you will be together again and this time WITHOUT SICKNESS...
I will keep you in my thoughts... and if you want to talk I would love to talk to you...

I know how you feel. I lost my husband to this horrible thing 5 months ago, and though people says it heals with time, I still feel fairly raw about the whole thing. And he was always more worried about me than himself. I can't tell you it ever gets easier, because I've seen no evidence to that effect. I'm not looking forward to the holidays at all. I can't muster any spirit even for Halloween, it all feels much emptier now.
The only thing that gets me through the days is my daughter, and knowing that he's healthy now. And I know he watches over both of us. I'm sure your daughter watches over you too.
I try to remember the times we laughed together, and know that I'll see him again one day. But nothing can fix it.
