> Your life (well, chance at ever being happy again) is effectively ruined by the death of one child I think the sentiment here has a lot of truth, but it's just a bit too strong. My parents lost my sister when she and I were young. It was terribly painful for them. It still tears me up to think about it. I think I've only ever asked about it once or twice in 40 years, and especially never dared to do so with my dad. But they seem to have found ways to be at peace about it. They are happy in their own lives and happy about me. Time and love and wisdom can eventually make it OK.
