OT Serious question
A cousin of mine lost her daughter to cancer a short while ago.
She raised the following question. A man who loses his wife is a widower, a woman who loses her husband is a widow, a child who loses a parent is an orphan. Why is there no word in the English language for a parent who loses a child? David @ the wet and windy end of Swansea Bay |
