When a child is born you learn something new. When a child dies you feel as though you no longer have a reason or purpose in this world. Yet when you decided to have a child you knew that the physical death would come sooner or later. With that knowledge, you had a child and mourn its death. Whether your child died sooner or later, you can't help feeling like dying yourself. Dying so that you are close to your child. But there is no need for death on your part. Knowing that you and your child are both children of God, all you have to do is look inside. There you will find peace, love, and a deep connection with your loved one. When sad or mourning listen to your heart because it never lies.
