You were emotional yesterday, and you still are today and that’s okay. Just keep that in mind when making decisions in the near future. It’s normal to be emotional. As parents, it’s easy to connect deeply with situations where we imagine our kids in danger or without us. That instinct is hard-wired into us.
As our kids grow and go through different stages of life, so do we. We start looking at the world through new eyes. I remember having the same thoughts when my children were small: “What if something happens to me? What will they do without me?” Those thoughts can be overwhelming, but don’t let them consume you.
The best thing you can do for your child is what you’re already doing being present, loving, and giving her the best of your time. None of us know how or when our time ends, but we can make sure we push our kids forward as much as we can while we’re here.
Try not to let this tragedy drown you in emotions. When in doubt, zoom out not just in Bitcoin, but in life. Awful things happen every day. Every single day thousands of children lose one or both parents. Do those stories hit you the same way? Usually not and that’s natural. If they did, none of us could function; we’d be crushed under the weight of endless sorrow. Charlie was but drop in a sea of parents with a small children that died that day. You can't let yourself drown in emotions because of it.
It’s one thing to acknowledge and understand what happened, but another to let it consume you. Don’t let it do that. Take a break from the internet and the news for a few days. Go outside, clear your head, and talk with someone you trust. You need space to process this and bring yourself back to balance both for you, and for your daughter.

I know that you’re trying to be helpful here and I can appreciate that, but I am going to always be righteously angry about this forever. Til the day I die.
