Sad indeed to lose a child, whatever the child's age maybe. We haveto livewith beautiful memories of them. Bhagavad Gita sloka 22 वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृहणाति नरोऽपराणि। तथा शरीराणि विहाय जिर्णान्य- न्यानि संयाति नवानि देहि।। Agreed, only those who go through such occurences will know the pain. But please take solace in the fact that he must have taken a new form and would be bringing joy to his new parents like he gave joy to you and your family - Girija (your friend from DTEA, Mandir Marg)
Thank you for your thoughtful observation from Gita.Yes indeed Vidat may have taken a new body with newer parents , family and friends or may have reached Vaikuntum itself but the fact remains that I and my family have been deprived of the company of a very good atma and the indefinable emptiness in our life that the abrupt departure brought in its wake to us [viz me and my husband] will persist till our end, no matter what.
