Grief of a child — the unnatural loss

The death of a child violates the sequence the heart had prepared for, and the grief that follows has no natural end and no adequate language. It is carried, not resolved — integrated slowly into a life that continues without the one who was supposed to outlast you. Anyone who has walked this deserves more tenderness from the world than the world usually manages to give.
