My cousin died young and I remember waiting in the lobby of the funeral home before they let all of us family in. The funeral director told us that we could go in to see my cousin in the open casket before the wake started.
I will NEVER ever forget my aunt turning to my grandma (her mom) and yelling out βI donβt want to do this momβ as she broke down in tears and collapsed into her mothers arms. It was heartbreaking and something that came from her soul. Hard to describe that kind of pain. We all lost it crying of course. No parent should ever have to bury their child. As a dad now too, it hurts even more to imagine.

The worst sound in the world is the sound of parents mourning the loss of children.
