  • Hi there, I'm sorry you find yourself in this position. Losing a parent is very hard. How old is your daughter? Do you have any family around at all? Maybe you can sit down together and come up with some plans for her future. This will provide her with some structure. Also listen to her plans and goals. I find some comfort that my dad knew some of my plans.
