It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

I'm sorry to hear that.  As a father I can't imagine anything harder to deal with than that.

I've lost a child, it's a pain that never goes away.

Regret to tell you that I'm also a member of That Club:   The Pain That Never Goes Away.  It starts the first thing in the morning, on awakening. and lays heavily over the rest of the day. 

Yet........in truth, we never want the pain to completely go away; our Lost One stays close by us every day through that pain.    When any relief ever does come, it comes like this:   One day, a long time later, it was 11:00am and I realized that I hadn't yet thought of John all that morning.

And even with all that, I won't dare to say to you, "I know how you feel."    Because there's no way I could possibly know.   This kind of pain is too very, very personal.

Our prayers reach out to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss.   :(

What a terrible tragedy. As a new parent I can hardly bear to even think about the pain that must come with the loss of a child.

I'll be praying for you and your family and all of the lives that your lovely daughter touched.
