I'm sorry you feel so alone! I'm also sorry that no one helped you find additional purpose in your life (though raising a child is a great one) for just this time of your life.

Don't look at it as loss, but change. She is still your daughter, but now you will have all her experiences she will share with you, as well as new ones you will be making.

I think the best way to go about this is to find a hobby...try something you never tried...volunteer somewhere...take a course to learn (and keep the brains cells multiplying )

I'm sorry to hear also that no one in your life understands, because surely many ppl do know exactly what you are going through. Don't be hesitant to seek out a therapist, as the emotions and emptiness can become overwhelming for some.

Welcome, and take care!
