I just lost my daughter in a

I just lost my daughter in a tragic hiking accident. She was 26 years old..she just missed her 27th birthday. I am devastated. She was all i had left in this world. I am trying to make sense of this senseless death. She was gifted, talented, and beautiful. She was my little angel and my reason for living. How am i supposed to go on now? she was a gift from God...she was never supposed to be. She was a miracle child. I don't understand why God took her home. I just need some peace.
