I was 11 when my Dad died suddenly of a heart attack. Our entire family was traumatized by this event. I was the youngest in the family.
The article speaks about the feelings of abandonment when a child loses a parent. Because of my faith even at 11 years, I was able to understand that it was an act of God, and that I would eventually see my Dad again. So I coped with it.

Just like the Times on every article they print, there is no journalism... there are no sides... they do not present the facts and let you decide.
