A child? Been there.

God working his way down the family tree? What did she die of? Is it inheritable?

The death of a child is far, far worse. The grieving never leaves you and it wipes the joy out of your life in ways hard to describe.

losing a child is worse. I can tell you first hand that is true.
I lost my son 32 years ago and Im not over it yet. His mother drank herself to death about 3 years later.
