Hey @WhitlockJason, I can understand some of these questions. As a parent who has lost a child in a similar way I’d like to talk about this.
There’s no one way to grieve.
Projecting it out and leaning on the greatest support system we have-other people, yes even strangers-can https://twitter.com/whitlockjason/status/1311643018173263872

have enormous positive effects, as I found.
Other parents don’t need any reminder of their loss, it’s always there, every day you walk by the park, every double stroller, every commercial.
For some, yes, seeing or hearing of someone else’s loss is incredibly difficult. But

It’s the person going through it at that moment that is in need of support, and we should all want to support.
That support educates, informs and supports the next person- who can’t imagine it will happen to them - but might find themselves in this sorrowful position.

Compassion means ‘to suffer with’.
When something tragic happens to someone else sometimes we say, “I can’t imagine...”
There’s value in other people talking & showing us what this grief is-so we can imagine-and be helped.
So we encourage & help the next with compassion.
