My daughter died at 13 feeling worthless – social media played its part and now I want answers

Our family’s anguish and our search for answers led us to Molly’s social media accounts (Picture: Ian Russell) Two years ago, my family lost our beloved youngest daughter.

Adored as a friend, sister, daughter and granddaughter, Molly had showed no obvious signs of mental anguish.

My love for her didn’t end with her marriage

It was impossible for me to accept that someone could fall in love for life. I never had real dependency for people in my life, until I met ‘Her’.

5 Lessons I Taught My Children About the Food on Their Plates
