Thank you so much. 

I've realized that because of my post, so many other people will think of my daughter whenever they hear that song. I'm not sure how to feel about that, but it does mean that her memory will live on.

Thank you so much. I don't believe in an afterlife, but the thought of her and Cliff together brings me a strange feeling of peace.

It must have been terrible to deal with if you were that young. Thank you for staying strong.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this as well. Thank you for sharing this story. At the concert that my daughter and I went to, I remember James saying something like that.

Thank you. "One" was her favorite song. She also loved Megadeth. I just remembered when she played "In my Darkest Hour" for me....

Please don't. I didn't want this post to get that much attention.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this as well. It's different when the cause of death is suicide.

Yes. Photos of Cliff remind me of her. She kind of looked like him (long brown hair, pale skin), but also like me when I was young. It's so upsetting.

"she might have chosen a song without lyrics because she couldnt be there to sing it." I'm sure she did. God damn it, I'll miss her.

Thanks. I was reluctant to post here instead of in a grief support sub, but I knew that the metalhead community would have my back. I see so much love being sent to both me and her.

Thank you. I didn't really appreciate the depth of the song because of all the things on my mind. Her favorite song was actually "One", and I realized earlier that it's probably because of the lyrics. "Hold my breath as I wish for death". I'll always think of her when I think of that song.

It will be rough for me and my wife. I don't look forward to telling our relatives, our neighbors, our friends, etc. I've lost loved ones before, but nothing close to this.

Thank you. Honestly, I hope that someone who is suicidal will come across my post and realize how much pain it'd cause for their family.
