We had to put down our beloved baby girl of 10 years this morning after abruptly finding out about an abdominal tumor that burst open and caused internal bleeding past the point of saving.

Could really use some advice on the grieving process, all I can do is stare at her stuff and feel nothing but despair.

I'm so sorry. It's one of the hardest things someone can go through. I lost one of my girls back in the spring as well.

It may sound counterintuitive, but for me, talking about her and reminiscing about good times with her and her funny quirks really helped. I still miss her terribly, but I think of her silliness and I smile.

Hang in there. It will get easier.
