a loss for words

Singer Lily Allen has suffered another miscarriage six months into her pregnancy.

Three years ago, she suffered her first miscarriage with a former partner.

"You know what I find interesting? If you lose a spouse, you're called a widow, or a widower. If you're a child, and you lose your parents, then you're an orphan. But what's the word to describe a parent who loses a child? I guess that's just too fucking awful to even have a name."

-Brenda Chenowith, <Six Feet Under>

You are in my prayers.
