If you lose a child, no matter how, every single day you think of that child. As time goes on you think, "My child would now be this age. He'd pass this milestone." And you weep. Because your child will NEVER pass that milestone. He or she is forever in that age he or she died.
This is true no matter how your child died. Car accident, cancer or other disease, suicide, murdered somehow. Your child is still dead. There's an awful finality to that. My child is dead. Forever. Will never again be alive. I'll never speak to my kid again. Lost and gone.
The finality is heartbreaking.
