Bereaved parents mourn the death and loss of a child – whether the child is four or forty-four, the emotion of losing a child for parents is the same. For them, it feels unnatural to outlive their child. They don’t just lose a son or a daughter; they also lose a part of themselves. During these grieving times, some parents find faith as a source of comfort, while others feel betrayed by God.
