I have heard it said that the greatest loss a human being can experience is the loss of a child. This is true. The person you were before, you will never be again; it doesn’t just change you, it demolishes you. The rest of your life is spent on another level, the level of those who have lost a child. If you are blessed with other children, you go on living to be there for them, but the loss will consume you at unexpected times for the rest of your life.
