Grief : You are going through normal grieving process. She had AML & the only symptom looking back was swollen gums. But knowing that still won't bring her back. I suggest you participate in grief groups made up of parents who lost a child. Your hospital social worker can direct you to some on your area. Again, my condolences.

Nobody knows: That disease may have some genetic type connections.
