My grandma lost two of her children and she was devastated. She told me it forever changed her. But she had to fight to keep on living because she had 5 more counting on her. Still, with the 4 I have...I know for a fact that if anything like that happened to one of them, I would never be the same, at the least. Having kids is having a piece of your heart walking around. Lose that, and I don't think anyone ever truly recovers, but you can go on. Just like you could and should. And I have a love/hate relationship with TBL. I love the success stories, the efforts to find out what motivated those people to get so heavy, but I hate that it's a game. When some of them go home I cry like a baby.

Just like you could and should.

Those of us with more have to go on for the others. and there is no way that the death of one of many would hurt any less than the death of an only, but the motivation to go on would have to be greater with more than one. Does that make sense? I can’t imagine being able to cope and I hope I never have to, but your case is different with one child.
