The death of a child

The death of a child shatters the fundamental assumption that you can protect what matters most, leaving a grief so absolute that the world sometimes stops making sense. Parents who survive it often describe entering a permanent state of existential fragility, where joy is always shadowed by the knowledge of what can be taken in an instant.
