i'm sorry you had a sad night [Frown]

since both my parents are still alive, i can't relate to the loss of a parent like you ladies have -- but my hubby's parents passed away back in the early 1980's and he still has sad nights every once and awhile

i find it interesting the different ways we all feel about the same emotion -- loss

theres no comparing the loss of a parent to the loss of a child because one is the emotion felt as the PARENT and one is the emotion felt as the CHILD ---- and i dont think you can put an age limit on the way a child reacts to the loss of a parent

(and yes, i do find great comfort in knowing my child is at peace [Smile] )
