My poor niece is only 14 - that difficult age even when life at home is stable. I don't think I can ask anymore questions.... funny, even though deep inside we knew where this was heading, any tiny shred of hope would help us for that day. But as of yesterday, even my dad finally realizes that hope is gone. I'm just sad that in her 43 yrs she couldn't find peace and happiness.... especially when she had all the help and good things lined up in front of her. And her favorite flowers are lilacs.... and they're just beginning to bloom now.
