Dr. Ross' experience is similar to my own. The loss of loved ones, particularly a child, changes your perspective on death and dying. I'm less afraid and more accepting of my own mortality. After my son was killed in a workplace accident 8 years ago, I suddenly found myself an unwilling member of mothers everywhere who had lost a child. The death of a child plunges your heart, mind and soul to a level of pain beyond imagination, but it also increases compassion for others. With an abundance of tears, time, counseling, and perseverance, we learn to smile again.
