From "Silent Grief, Child Loss Support"

Losing a child isn't just a bump in the road as some would think. Losing a child is an eternal life-altering happening. And, child loss is not a one-time event. Losing a child is an every day, every hour, every minute event. Our hearts are broken, we have an emptiness that nothing or no one can fill, and our minds are forever on our child. Child loss does not disconnect us from our child -- it draws us even closer. But, the horrible part of this is we cannot touch our child, we cannot talk face-to-face with our child, we cannot experience the daily interactions with our child since child loss. We know our child on a spiritual level which leaves us longing to be together more and more with each passing day. Others cannot possibly understand fully unless they, too, have experienced child loss. They think we're crazy. We know we're simply longing for our child. We miss our child so much that our hearts break just a little bit more each day!
