What hurts worse, losing a parent or losing a child?

Child. I sat next to my grandfather at my father’s funeral.

I always expected to bury my dad eventually. It happened sooner than I thought it would, but it was probably going to happen eventually as is the natural order of things. My grandfather never expected to bury his son.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone in so much emotional pain as when my grandfather told me about the day his son was born.
