First sending condolences to David Frum and his family regarding the sad passing of his daughter Miranda. I too lost my daughter Celia. It is gut wrenching. I think it is important for parents who have lost a child, even though a grown up child, to be able to share their experience with other parents who have experienced a similar loss. I want to thank him for speaking about his loss and connecting with me through his writing. It matters to share and acknowledge the pain that has transformed our lives and is difficult to comprehend. Also thank him for adopting her difficult dog.

Dear Danielle,
This is your friend from long ago- Natasha
I heard about Miranda's passing only recently and I am deeply saddened and in shock with the news.
I can just imagine how devastating that would be and it was your first born.
Although we lost touch with each other, I always remember you with great fondness.
Deepest condolences and much love

To the Frum family,
I read David's beautiful tribute to Miranda in "The Atlantic" and forwarded it on to a friend who had suffered a similar loss of a beautiful, talented, vibrant young daughter. I send you all my deepest sympathy, and I thank you for giving sorrow such eloquent words when words are so often inadequate. May Miranda's memory be for a blessing, and may it be a comfort to you.

To David and Danielle, your wonderful tribute to your young daughter touched my heart. My Dad has been gone for over 60 years now and while I can't remember all that he said, I will never forget how he made me feel. Rest assured that Miranda Ann will live on in you...forever!

I was deeply saddened to learn of Miranda's passing this morning. I first met her nearly a decade ago in Tel Aviv, and our friendship blossomed quickly. Despite the miles between us, we remained close over the years, and our bond grew even stronger when I relocated to Los Angeles in 2019. Miranda was a remarkable person, radiating beauty inside and out. Her intelligence, humor, and impeccable taste captivated me. My heartfelt condolences go out to her loved ones. She will be dearly missed.

David I just saw you on Mo Jo this a.m. What a beautiful story you told about your daughter Miranda. I am so very sorry for your family's loss. Being a dog lover, my rescued Jack Russell/Chihuahua lying right next to me, I'm extremely happy you have Ringo. Even if he doesn't respect you. You were also very lucky to have Miranda as your daughter.

After decades, how seldom does one remember someone's spoken words, however profound or sincere. But a counseling teacher once remarked, "Pain reflects the depth of our caring." Such simple words - yet how true and enduring... While recent years have taught me grieving the death of a daughter or son defies any magical relief, may you be strong, heartened knowing hurt and deep love are intertwined and are both somehow borne.

Dear Frum family,
Like others here, I watched Mr. Frum´s touching interview on MSNBC tonight and learned of Miranda´s passing. I lost my 21-year-old son to cancer that spread to his brain so know only too well the shattering grief that follows the death of one´s child. How brave and generous you are to speak publicly during such a disorienting time. Thank you for your vow to find words to describe a loss for which many believe there are no words; we all need those words. I´m so sorry about the loss of your beautiful daughter, who was obviously deeply loved. Life will never be the same, but the love does live on. May Ringo be a comfort to you all.

Thank you for bringing into the public sphere your grief and feelings and stories about your daughter. As a mother of two boys still in their 20s, I know that at any time something could happen that I cannot prevent or rectify as a parent. But to experience the passing of a child is another thing altogether and I have seen only through my mother-in-law how one´s life dramatically shifts. I extend my deepest condolences for your loss and trust that the beautiful spirit of Miranda will bring you memories eternal. Thank you for your generous share and the gift of your words and thoughts that you continue to bring to our world.

I have just seen your moving piece on CNN. My son Paul died at age 12 from a recurring brain tumor (1996) , so of course I feel your pain. It has been many years, and it´s about the longing. I wish you much peace in your road ahead.

So very sorry to learn of the sudden passing of your lovely daughter Miranda Frum. I was unaware until I saw Mr. David Frum on the MSNBC's 11th Hour Show with Ringo her dog. I admire your ability to grieve so gracefully and express your artful words. Miranda is well honored. May God watch over you, her Mother and family - I sense bravery and strength. May the Psalms comfort you.

Someone told me once that children could bring unimaginable happiness and unimaginable grief.
I so much appreciate your sharing both Maranda's wonderful life and the grief you have dealt with. I too have dealt with that kind of grief. Although it never goes away, as time passes, I have learned to live with both the unacceptable and a permanently broken heart. Love to all of you.

David! I hung on every word your Mom spoke while she continued to broadcast through her battle with leukemia. It was only after her passing that we learned of her valient struggle. Her courage and strength are evident in the legacy she left you and Miranda. About our pooches.... my granddaughter Kelsey left us in 2020 at the age of 20 and my job was to look after her labradoodle Winnie in the immediate aftershock. Well I was walking her when she spotted a squirrel and took off with lightening speed. I was not going to lose her to traffic I held on for dear life and returned bruised and bloodied and covered in mud as she dragged me along. Winnie is our link to Kelsey. I share your grief . With love and compassion, Anne Trory

May we all live audaciously and bravely, carrying her spirit forward. I feel honored to be able to bear witness to a fraction of the person Miranda was, as revealed through the prism of David’s writing. I know I’ve seen only a slice of the light that formed her, but that sliver is so beautiful.

Dear Frum Family,
I, like so many others who have posted here, have never met any member of your family. And, just as these other good souls have been so moved by the tremendous loss of Miranda, so have I. Grief is a brutal companion. It never will leave, but we learn how to accept that reality and move ahead in spite of the loss. We all know we will experience it in our lives, yet are surprised by its presence when it makes itself known.
The important thing to remember is the deeper the love, the deeper the grief. So, in some very odd way, this burden that sometimes seems that we will never survive, is proof that we have experienced the greatest of all loves. And that experience - that love - is something that all of us should be so fortunate to have in our lifetimes. May Miranda´s memory be forever a blessing.

I cannot imagine a deeper, more profound grief than losing a child. Thank you for the moving tribute in The Atlantic and for sharing with us how special Miranda was in so many ways.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Today while running a 102 degree fever, after I took some Tylenol, I sat in the car at my son´s preschool´s parking lot and read Mr. Frum´s piece in The Atlantic. It is such a beautiful, moving, and well-written tribute. I sat there and cried.

David Frum´s piece in The Atlantic, Miranda´s Last Gift, captivated me. I struggled when my parents were alive in our relationship. So much was left unsaid about my oldest brother´s death. This piece helped me feel the pain of a parent who outlives a child. Thank you, David Frum!

I just read the Atlantic article about Miranda and her pup. It struck many familiar chords as we too lost a daughter at 32 and kept her beloved retriever for 5 more years until he was almost 15. The companionship he provided her was invaluable. Thoughts and prayers for your family.

Dear Danielle and David,
Hal and I are heartbroken for your loss. How well I remember Miranda from the mom/toddler group all those years ago in the city. A dazzling, inquisitive, bright and beautiful child, Miranda simply shone. I can see her now, creating fun and in every way holding her own with Nora, Alexander and Peter. We will hold you in our prayers today and always. Love, Diane

David, Linda and I knew each other briefly when we were teenagers, and his grandmother, the wonderful Florence Rosberg, was a friend/surrogate grandmother to me. Until then, I had no idea that such a thing as a loving family who supported and encouraged each other unstintingly was possible, and I will always be grateful to Florence for that. I am terribly saddened and wish you all strength and healing. You are a special family.

Dear Frum Family,
It is with great sadness that we hear of Miranda's premature passing.
My late parents Dr Bill & Florence Goodman knew Murray & Barbara, and knew also the pain of losing a child - in our case, my late brother Robert, who was one of the early casualties of AIDS.
My wife Jeanette & I are your neighbours in The County, just north of Bloomfield, so we will make a point of paying our respects in person tomorrow.
