Thank you for writing about your daughter, Emily. As a mother of six children, I know how much you loved her and sacrificed much of yourself for her over the years. Dads are just heroes, and I know your heroic efforts were not in vain. May the words that Jesus spoke to Martha in her grief be of comfort to you: ". . . I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11:25-26
I have a strong belief that our loved ones that have passed on are never far from us, in fact, if we could turn fast enough, we just might see them. Your sweet Emily is beside you, and she is watching and ministering to you heavenside. May God's choicest blessings be upon you, and may you have an instant recall of the many sweet and wonderful memories you have of her to carry you through until you see her again someday.
I can't imagine what you have been through and I do not know you but I cry. I am sure you are not alone. It has to be a group for grieving parents of transgenders children who died because of this. If not, create it and convert your sorrow in something good, in a force to help others that went, are or will go through the same experience. Emily, a beautiful name. All those who did not help you need to be made responsable, sadly in this country to do a lawsuit you have to be poor, rich or be an attorney yourself. I don't know if you believe in God but He is a great refuge, because everything happens for a reason. Under this administration maybe you can find an attorney that suit the doctors that give her T, because this hormone is meant to be in a male body, a female body resisted too much of male hormones, because they are not natural to it. We live in a crazy world, but do something with that suffering, honor your daughter in some way. Became an advocate against transgenderism, bring if you can afford doctors to justice, or be a speaker and educate people. You have all the rights now for what did happen to Emily. I will pray for her tonight that God had mercy of her, He will, she was sick. I will pray for you too. You will miss her but she is not dead, we have been created immortals, someday you will be reunited!
I haven’t lived through the physically loss of my daughter but a living death. I see her but it isn’t the child I gave birth to or watched grow from a precious child into what she is mow ( believes to be in her mind). My only hope and daily strength is my faith in an all knowing caring Heavenly Father. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am Emily’s father. Thank you for your support and prayers. I am praying for you and your daughter to be reconciled and that she will get the help and support she needs
Dearest Parent, I am so very sorry. Those of us who have children or grandchildren in this horrible cult live with the constant fear of what you are now going through. The wrong-ness, the insanity of accepting the very premise of this ideology is beyond understanding. Yet, here we are. My heart yearns for you, I ache to find something to comfort you. I can only tell you that the solace I have found in my life's journey, through loss and heartbreak, is Jesus. I lost my spouse
to cancer, I lost multiple unborn children through miscarriage, and i lost my 10-year-old grandson through murder. I liken your loss to the loss of my grandson, for both deaths are deliberate, with other people involved in causing the end of another's precious life.
Dear One, I pray for you to find your way to the Savior. He is the only One who makes sense out of suffering for me. And we on this forum, are with you in our love and compassion for you in the loss of your beloved Emily.
Please don’t retreat from being angry. It is all but inconceivable that Emily cane to this herself. If she was in social media, it’s near certain that some activist talked her into joining the cult.
I could not get through your story the first time and had to step back for a few days to reread it. I am so very sorry for your loss. I cried. Another life lost. Tragedy struck my own family last year, so I do relate to what you are going through. This evil trans-cult steals our children, makes us the bad guys, and then we lose our children again, but forever. So unfair. I am praying that you will find peace one day, and in the meantime just know you are not alone. This did not just happen to you - it happened to all of us here on this Substack. We are all fighting the same fight. No one wants to be a part of this "grief club" - I will keep you in my daily prayers.
You did well to write this, and I hope you will write again in six months or a year, to let us know how you are doing. Obviously, you have lived the worst nightmare of every one of us. You will be in my prayers.
My heart breaks for you. I am sending you prayers for peace and comfort. I am in a similar nightmare though it has not come to the stage you are now in yet. It is definitely one of my greatest fears, or that I will never hear or know. Our son left us a month before his 23rd birthday, relocated two states away. He had just changed his birth certificate name and gender, telling us after the fact and when it would be most painful to us. He has nothing to do with any of us and most hurt is our 10 year old daughter who was 6 when she last heard from or saw her only brother. She has no knowledge or understanding as to where or what has happened with him.
I pray for all of us living through this nightmare and for all those disparaging us for our heartbreak and have no real idea what we are living through. May your heart find peace.
I am Emily’s father. Thank you for your support and prayers. I am praying for you and your family to be reconciled. For you to have wisdom, guidance, courage and strength as you face this battle, your little girl to have a sense of understanding, your son to get the help and support he needs and that you may never have to face the pain of this loss.
My deepest sympathy to you. I’m so sorry this is how it ended for you and her. May the Dear Lord wrap his arms around you and comfort you at this time. I will keep you in my prayers. Trust the Dear Lord knows what he’s doing and keep your faith.
As a parent who’s 28 year son has been in this cult for 3 year and now started the estrangement phase as of December 2024, I’ve pray daily for all of us to have this stop and get our children the mental help they need. No more hormones for them but professional mental help to love themselves.
I’ve turned my son over to the Dear Lord and say daily “Jesus I trust in you.” I then vision placing my son in front of the cross asking the Dear Lord please watch over and protect my son. He is a gift from you and I pray you will do your will accordingly and help him see the truth. This helps me mentally so I can stay calm and be as normal on the outside to continue in life.
I am Emily’s father. Thank you for your support, prayers and love. We do know that God is walking with us in this valley and that He will bring us thru it. Knowing that definitely brings some amount of comfort. I am praying for you and your son for reconciliation, that he gets the help and support that he needs and that you may never have to experience the pain of this loss.
I deepest sympathy. No words can bring your baby girl back. She is free from this worldly plan. Suicide leaves behind wounded hearts that will never heal. I carry the people who I knew who left this way in my heart. Everyone failed her and you. Be gentle with yourself. You have an army of parents to lean on don't hesitate to ask for support.
My heart breaks for you, and for all of us, and for our children, who have been sucked into the lies of the Enemy.
We grieve with you. Tears are falling now for you and your daughter. And prayers are going up. Take some time to grieve, but don't stay there too long. The loss won't go away, but i pray you find a way to move forward, to honor your daughter and your love for her. I agree with those who are recommending support groups, but, again, hopefully, where people are moving forward, not wallowing. Your life still has purpose. Hold onto the good memories and release the negative, so you can heal. Forgive those who have acted in ignorance, because bitterness will only hurt you further. God will meet out justice one day. We are on a long journey.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too."

I am so very sorry for your loss.
There is a support group online for bereaved parents - you need to join here https://genderdysphoriasupportnetwork.com/contact
I am Emily’s father. Thank you for your support. And thank you for recommending that group. We have been in contact
I hope you can draw some comfort from it. I have attended the 'estranged parents' group before and found it helpful.
Oh this breaks my heart. Praying for this madness to stop.
