losing my daughter

Has anyone out there lost a child to cancer? My daughter died 7 yr. ago. She was 21 and had cancer. I never joined any support groups, never met anyone that had been through the same thing. It never gets easier, I just seem to stuff it down deeper inside of me. My friends tell me I'm doing so well, but I don't feel like I am. Sometimes, I do, most of the time, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

im so sorry you lose your daughter to cancer,i have never lost a child .but i have lost a sister to cancer.you feel the same way my mom does when i talk to her.but it will take time for you to heal an haveing someone to talk to helps.try writeing a letter to your daughter,say the things that you are feeling about her being gone an what you are feeling inside of you,this is something they have you to do at a support group.this help my mom ease her pain some.but the pain will never go away.you just have to learn how to deal with it.think of the happy times you had with her an not the bad times an even tell funny thing she used to do.this will put a smile on your face.an god bless you.

Thanks so much! I never thought of writing a letter to her. I talk to her constantly. She had a daughter who was 2 when she passed and I tell her funny stories about her mother all the time. Bless you~
