A quote about losing a child

When a man loses his wife,
He is called a widower.
When a woman loses her husband,
She is called a widow.
When a child loses her parents,
She is an orphan.
But when a parent loses his child…
There is no name for this type of pain.
It is hard to live and has no name.

~Major Bloomberg

"The death of a child is the single most traumatic event in medicine. To lose a child is to lose a piece of yourself.”


~ Dr. Burton Grebin
