Anu says, "Wouldn't it be nice if there were a word
for this?"
yesterday, while seeing one of my favourites tv-series, "Six Feet under" I was touched by this quote:
You know what I find interesting? If you lose a spouse, you're called a widow, or a widower. If you're a child and you lose your parents, then you're an orphan. But what's the word to describe a parent who loses a child? I guess that's just too f***ing awful to even have a name.
Is there a word in English to describe this situation?
