I lost my younger brother 10years ago to the same thing, he was nearly 12.I was 16 at the time and looking after him the night he became ill. I know its not the same as the loss of a child but me and him were so close I some times felt like he was mine. It does get easier and although it doesnt feel like it now you will smile again and you just have to cherish the memories you have of your daughter. My thoughts are with you x

My grandson just died of group B Meningitis on the 16th of May. My grandson was my world, so though it's not like losing a daughter or son, I can sympathize for certain.

I lost my 20-year old son to this disease. The only advice I have is to try to warn other parents about this disease. It helps to know we try to prevent the same thing from happening to other families. Also, ask all your friends and family to pray for you. I swear prayers kept me alive. Be good to yourself and take it slow. It is the biggest hurt you will ever endure. I'm praying for you!
