Reply #68: Now see? You make my point for me about comparison of grief.

It's just useless and silly, and like comparing apples to oranges. Everything is relative.

Grief is painful, no matter the circumstances. You lost a son too, and that is awful. I don't know your circumstances. I was devastated because I held mine, and told him it was okay to die. You wish you could have been there to hold your son in death.

Either way, the ending is absolutely devastating. It's not a game or a contest about who had it worse. Lose a child, or a close loved one, and the grief is all the same. And there is NO grief that should ever be discounted or dismissed.
