Hello Margmarie,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry for your loss and can only imagine how difficult the past few months have been for you and your daughter. Though I do not have a daughter, I can appreciate the uncertainty you are feeling about how to discuss difficult topics with children – and suicide can be one of the hardest. Below I have included an article that I found helpful from the Virtual Hospice Network on speaking with children. I am not sure how old your daughter is and how she has been struggling, but I hope that this guide can provide some guidance in your discussions with her.

To echo Katherine, I hope that you are receiving the support for yourself as well and wish you warmth and support both inside and outside our online community in the coming weeks and months.
Sincerely,
Trevor
