Grieving ALL ALONE for my Daughter

My Daughter was 23 & alcohol & drug abusive. The State transferred custody of her 2 babies (6 wk & 15 mo olds) to me a yr ago. Last month she was found dead from an overdose of cocaine. My entire family & any friends are disgusted with my Daughter calling her a piece of crap kid & even worse mother so when she died I don't hurt any less than any Mom whose child died "dignified". I am all alone in my grieeving & I hurt SO bad. My Daughter was a lost soul but I LOVE her unconditionally. She was my 1st born baby & I had her 23 yrs watching her go down the drain the past 6 yrs. Raising her babies & seeing my baby in them every day is painful for my grieving. Just because she didn't die respected, doesn't mean her death hurts me less, it is killing me & there NO ONE that feels any compassion to help me talk about my horrible loss...

hello Donna

people can be so hard,so tough and so judging,one the hardest things in this life I find to deal with.
I am so very sorry about your daughter,my heart aches for you.
my mum died because she was an alcaholic,she got lots of judgement from the police,neighbours,everyone.
I feel very much alone with my grief too.
what a beautiful caring mother you are((HUGS)).

your daughter may have taken a wrong road in part of her life but she did two wonderful things in her life and that was to give into your care two grandchildren for you to love and nurture. I hope through these children that your hurt will lessen and that they will grow strong and proud ,.I am sorry for your loss,

Hello Donna, The people who say these things to you should be ashamed of them selves , but I am right to assume these people have never lost a child , because if they had they wouldnt say any thing.
Being a parent means unconditional love forever no matter what. I suppose for some they see that she took drugs and drank but like you said she was lost and you didnt have a choice. You are so brave to take on two little ones and I hope every thing works out for you. Real friends always understand , real family does too. Sending prayers and thoughts your way. Joanne xxxx

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. No matter what way or how she died she was your daughter. Your precious daughter xxx

In life we sometimes take the wrong turn, does that make us a bad person? No that makes us human xxx

Anyone that is judging your daughter should be ashamed of themselves, you need support and understanding at a time like this.

Take care of your grandchildren.

Lots of love xxxx
