Neugeboren (1976)

I keep coming across this quote - it seems so apt

A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is! - Neugeboren (1976)

  1. I was 'researching' this quote and came across your blog and wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss of your young son. It's been just over 8 months for us; some days it seems like yesterday and some like an eternity since we had our Heath with us here on earth. Anyway, this quote reflected what I had said to myself many times since February.
    Peace be with you.
