> Conversely, what about infant death

Now that I have kids, I think back every now and again to when I was in high school and my math teacher's wife miscarried fairly far along into the pregnancy. Looking back, I'm sure that was absolutely devastating for him, but as a class I don't think we gave it a second thought.

I feel bad about that. Kids just have no concept of how big a loss that is. Hopefully the staff was more sympathetic about it.
