It’s another sort of loss.

Grief counselor Nancy Frumer Styron talks about the complex number of roles a parent takes on as they care for a child with a life-limiting illness, And how the roles change again when the child dies: for parents who have no other surviving children, “Am I still a parent?” “Now I am a bereaved parent — a club no one wants to belong to.” A bereaved mom talks about her identity after her son’s death and about how that identity is forever changed.
