Andi, I am so sorry for your loss. *hugs* I prayers go out to you and your family.
"You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
~David Harkins

In those moments it's when I really would like to speak english very well ...
It's a terrible situation , maybe one of the worst and I imagine the pain and suffering of this family , their loss.
Rose will live for ever in their hearts and she'll protect them and help them.
There are no words to make the suffering a little lighter , I just hope that the thoughts from all of us around the world could at least make them feel they are not alone.

My heart always breaks for people in pain because my own pain has made me more sensitive to the pain of others. Please accept some encouragement to deal with your present on-going pain & suffering through a quote from...
"LORD of the Dance" by U.S. country artist, Steven Curtis Chapman.
"...It would happen as it does for every dancer...That I'd stumble on a truth I could not see...And find a longing deep inside of me saying,
"I am the heart, I need the heartbeat...I am the eyes, I need the sight I realize that I am just the body, I need the life...I move my feet, I go through the motions,...But who'll give purpose to chance? I am the dancer...I need the LORD of the dance.
"The world beneath us spins in circles, And this life makes us twist and turn and sway...But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason...By the One who moves with passion and with Grace...As He dances over all that He has made.
"I am the heart, He is the heartbeat...I am the eyes, he is the sight I see clearly I am just the body, He is the Life...I move my feet, I go through the motions...But He gives purpose to chance...I am the dancer, He is the LORD of the dance." 
Life is rarely fair! Life can be endured (at least by me) only if I hold onto the Anchor of Someone bigger than myself who has the ability, the perspective, the wisdom, and the compassion to guide me through the Unknown, let me experience pain (because there is a greater good I can't yet see,) and can ultimately make sense out of a Life that is too often senseless, cruel, and 'blesses others more often than me'."
"LORD, Please give this family the gifts of Your Presence, a greater knowledge of Your Person, and a desire to be in relationship with You, the One Who loves the loveless, believes in unbelievers, and leads to wisdom often through seemingly foolish paths. Thank You that the truly Divine can love the truly human! Amen!"

So sorry for your loss Andi and family. A friend lost a daughter in similar circumstances only 2 years ago, coming to terms with loosing a son or daughter takes a long time, the pain never goes away. My friend and I talk about her daughter now without crying, we smile and remember all the good things she did and the things she used to say. We now celebrate her memory but always talk about her.

For a time, you were given a gift.
You took that gift, nurtured, taught, shared, managed, worried over the best you could do.
Now, your gift has gone. Rose is in the hands of the lord now. A better place than what us mortals live in.
But, us mortals still live, until the day we can see our loved ones again with God.
As sad as it is to lose such a wonderful gift like your Rose, we still must live our lives on this world given to us mortals.
If you ever thought for once that you were not a good gift keeper, keep in mind the life she once had. The smiles you gave. The joys you provided. The insights she learned. The tears she shared.
Life truly can suck at times Andi. Life can be such a huge disappointment, and then the memories of the ones we lose can bring back the realities of the world we live in.
Keep her memories fresh by you still living your life.
Maybe now is the time to give a gift yourself, so that another may have the joy, and happiness that you found. Nothing extravagant. Coins to a homeless person. Shoes to an orphan. Food to an elderly person. Talking to a lonely person.
The gift that you give will keep your memories of Rose always fresh. Because, once the hustle and bustle of life is turned on again, life will get in the way, and the memories of Rose won't be as fresh due to the challenges life throws at us.
God bless, take care.
