Losing your only child is the most obliterating thing on earth.

It demolishes your identity.

It demolishes your friendships.

It demolishes your faith.

It demolishes your trust.

It demolishes your view of the world.

It demolishes your hopes.

It demolishes your tomorrows.

It demolishes your dreams.

It demolishes your plans.

It demolishes your family.

It demolishes you.

And then people say “How are you?” And you respond “I’m okay.”

This is what it’s like to lose your only child.
