There is no doubt in my mind that it has to be devastating to
loose a child, my heart goes out to all of you. We are not in the medical
profession; so I am expressing my own opinions. I would suggest that your
daughter go for grieving counseling to help her work through all of this.
I am sure she has many questions that we are not able to answer and I am sure
she has some that no one will be able to answer. If the majority of her
questions can be answered she will feel much better. I am a strong
believer that something's are just too big for anyone to handle and that a wise
person will seek out the help they need. Our minds are of equal importance
to our bodies.
May God be with all of you and help you to heal a painful
wound. Warmly, lillian
