Even worse than death would be hearing that two of your sons were in a car accident and one lives no more. Even worse than death would be going to wake up your son ten days after his 16th birthday only to find that he has died in his sleep. Even worse than death would be to hear your son was in a dirt biking accident and going to see him in the hospital and after ten days of steady progress, he catches meningitis and dies. Even worse than death would be to hold your daughter while she dies in your arms. Even worse than death would be to lose the person closest to your heart.
