<p>Hi Lars,<p>Sorry for your loss. I myself have two sons and almost cried when I read your post.<p>I just wanted to respectfully disagree that losing a child was that commonplace until approximately yesterday. IMO it's such a common thing that even today millions of people around the world suffer from that [0]. It's equally horrible experience to lose a child to what you describe in your post or to lose a child due to something this: [1]. (One could argue that a child simply dying is slightly better than having them brain dead for the next X years. But... let's leave it aside for now.)<p>My humble suggestion would be that maybe it would help to focus on preventing other children die. But IDK, I'm not a psychologist.<p>Chreers!<p>[0] <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality">https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality</a><p>[1] WARNING: pretty graphical <a href="https://w.wiki/8thW" rel="nofollow">https://w.wiki/8thW</a></p>
