Having a child die is the ultimate grief that any parent will ever encounter. Having one’s only child or all children die compounds that ultimate grief to the point of being unthinkable for most people in our society today.
People often ask how one can possibly survive when all of our children are deceased. Most bereaved parents wonder that same thing for several years. Surely we will die. There is no way we can survive, let alone actually LIVE when all our children are gone before us.
We learn to adjust to being childless and make friends with others who have had a similar experience to us.
There is a special bond/understanding that need not be spoken. Other bereaved parents understand this unspoken bond as only those
who ‘walk in our shoes’ can truly understand.
