I’m ok, I guess. I miss her so much. I went to the gardens today. We call the cemetery the gardens. I talk to her a lot. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself. I should have never let her ride in the car with that specific friend. I feel like I failed her as a mother.

I don't believe you failed her. Accidents happen, even to good drivers. I am sure Julie wouldn't want you to feel that way. She would probably tell everyone what a good mom she had and how blessed she was. My mom committed suicide. I later found out she had tried to call me. I didn't have my phone on and when I got the message it just sounded like a pocket dial. I deleted the message without listening to it not knowing it was my mom. I felt guilty over that for the longest time. I realized my mom wouldn't want that nor would she blame me. It doesn't help to think that way. I am so sorry you are grieving. I can't imagine losing a child. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. 🙏💕 I hope your burden becomes lighter.
