loss of child

Hi, everyone
I am new to eons and to this forum.
My daughter was abducted ,tortured, sexually assaulted and murdered in March of 2000. I would like to have words of encouragement to give to everyone here, but I and my family have none to give. I have no idea whatsoever how anyone survives something like this.
Every day is filled with pain or anger-that's all I have. Oh sure, there are lighter moments, but the "in between" times are hell. And the good stuff is rare and scattered too far apart. I haven't totally given up on life, obviously, but this is the hardest and most pain-filled time of my entire life and I don't see it ever ending. How does one heal? I don't know. So, I continue to breathe, to walk, to work, make all the motions and somehow keep going. It's all so complicated and awful, but what else is there to do? Anti-depressants have been tried but they only mask a bit of the pain and irritate in weird and unexpected ways, so I quit taking them.
Therapy? How can anyone who has never experienced this have any kind of clue about how to deal with it?
As I said before, I really have no help for anyone from needing help so much myself. I don't even really understand what I'm trying to say here, such is the muddled state of my mind. I guess this is kind of a cry for help, as most of the posts here are, but what can be done?
I just don't know.
May we all find true peace someday.

Oh my! I don't even know how to answer or respond to your post. I CANNOT imagine how you can survive anything like the horrible loss of your daughter. I guess you hit the nail on the head when you say you just keep going. We don't have anything else to do. Has the HORRIBLE person that did this to her been sent to prison? Did that bring any type of closure? Please share your story about your beautiful daughter!!!
