What does the loss of a child do to a parent? To a mother that yearns to hold her son or daughter and is not able to? To a father that yearns to see his child as an extension of himself and never will?

How do we define loss?
nounWhen a parent loses a child they are at a disadvantage. They are deprived of the happiness that only a child can give. The loss of a child is detrimental to a parents wellbeing just as the loss of a parent is detrimental to a child's wellbeing.
"detriment, disadvantage, or deprivation from failure to keep, have, or get".
Greece is a parent. For many years and because of external factors she has lost hundreds of thousands of her children and continues to lose them today. How long can a mother survive this injustice?
How is she to bare the pain of continually losing her pride and joy; Her youth; and as a consequence, her future?
I am a mother and a Hellene and I feel her pain.
