Betsy I know it is very difficult to accept the death of a child. I don't think there is anything harder than that in life. When I lost my granddaughter my thoughts were "We are not suppose to bury our children and grandchildren" they are suppose to out live us by far. You said she passed from "natural" causes. first hon it isn't natural for a child to pass at 16 right? Hon the thing that helped me most of all was my strong belief in God. He helped me thru it all. That and I know she is not suffering at all. Our children would not want us to stay in a state of mourning. They would want us to find a way to find peace. I and others here are here for you. I will keep you in my prayers.
