[quote=Anonymous]Odd question, but I have two friends currently debating this: Is it more difficult to lose a spouse OR a child (for a parent to lose a child) or a parent (for a young child to lose a parent)? I don't have a horse in this race. Sadly, the other two do (one lost a spouse, the other lost a child). I think it's a bizarre and morbid debate, but I'm curious what other folks think (especially folks who have lost someone). One person is adamant that the grief is equal (which I think is a bit silly since no two people experience grief the same way). The other says that an adult can fall in love, remarry and move forward in a way that a kid who loses a parent or a parent who loses a child simply can't (makes sense to me). Thoughts? I obviously can't discuss this with my friends.[/quote]
