[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a morbid, bizarre debate. There is a broad spectrum regarding how people experience grief; it is callous to generalize. My personal thought (which is, thank god, fully hypothetical right now, since my parents, spouse and child are all alive) is that losing my child would be the worst because it would be completely unexpected. Although I don't think we can ever fully anticipate how losing a close family member would feel, we all know that the natural cycle of life is such that we should outlive our parents. We also know that, assuming our spouse is around the same age as us, there is a chance we will outlive our spouse. No one expects to outlive their child. Just my own perspective. [/quote]
