    Rob is so candid and honest about his journey through grief after losing Henry. If he had to stop writing to cry or puke, he did and then returned to the task. Tragically, children die of illness or in accidents and it's time it stopped being a kind of taboo. Yes, it seems to go against the natural sequence of things but it happens. We need to talk about it and learn what we can do to be of support.

    Honestly after watching this Rob's story, I realised am not the only person who had to go through same pain & stressful situation. When my Mom died of cancer next to me, I was enraged to the fact that she died from this disease, I was very sensitive & easily angered at friends & family members who started to question me how she died to the point that I assumed these people may accuse me of something or doubting my love toward my mother. I was worried so much about their opinions & even found it harder to ignore them to the point that I wished I could write about my feelings/ my story to alert these people that they were completely wrong & I should show them how much pains that we should live with this loss & that we are just the children who love our Mom.
