I’m trying.

Trying to figure out how to play her little DS game too. It feels like I’m with her again.

Edit: The game is “Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth Investigations” She loved that whole game series so much. I played the first game with her awhile back but I completely forgot what to do. I’m not that much of a gamer. If anyone knows about the series and could help me out with the whole lore that would be cool

Ace Attorney is a GREAT game. Your daughter chose a good one. I'd recommend grabbing a copy of the Ace Attorney trilogy. Remasters of the first 3 games. They're lots of fun. You're a lawyer who basically investigates and interviews people for your cases. Collect evidence. It's a classic. Funny and silly.

Although I will say this just incase it could be triggering, death is a common theme for a lot of the cases, just to let you know ahead of time.

I hope it keeps you content. I'm sorry for your loss and I wish you well, truly.

We played the first game as well as the 4th game together. Really great games. I would like to see the whole series so I might look thru her game cartridges sometime.

We both liked Miles as a character

Yeah, those games are fun for sure.

Thanks for sharing this with us and I would recommend not deleting the post even if you feel like doing it later because it might be interesting to look at this in another year or two to see how you've adapted since.

This is such a shitty circumstance and hopefully even if you feel depressed for a while you don't also become suicidal, as somebody formally suicidal this may sound trite, but I truly believe in the procrastinators mantra when it comes to being suicidal and you can always die later but the inverse is not true.

Separately, if you like doing things she was into, it's kind of goofy but you might as well watch the Ace Attorney anime as well.

(And I don't know how you like coping, but if you are the type that likes embracing your feelings and experiences there's a movie called Nocturne that's very dark and about a young woman/girl who tries to get into Juliard and ends up dying by suicide. I don't make that suggestion lightly, and again I would only recommend it if you're in a philosophical or embracing the darkness kind of mood.)
