It is said that a burden shared is a burden lightened, I'm not sure the same can be said about the pain of loss. I hope it can help that we have shared some of your loss through these lovely images, and you good words, perhaps in sharing , you can lighten your load.
This is so heartbreaking!!! Losing a child (esp. to addiction) has to be the worst kind of pain someone can experience. Cory was beautiful and looked like she was full of life. Addiction can be so deceiving and misunderstood. I lost one of my oldest friends last year to addiction and I understand how frustrating, shocking, and depressing it feels to find out they couldn't beat it. Your photos are a wonderful way to share a small part of who she was.
im so sorry to hear about your daughter passing. My brother is an addict, and i know the pain you feel and felt everytime you see their eyes. I hope that your pain will slowly heal with time, my prayers are with you.
I am at a loss for words, Julianne. My heart goes out to you. I don't suppose any of us can ever truly understand such tragic losses. She was a beautiful woman.
