Losing a parent is one of the most difficult experiences a person can face, especially during young age, because it can leave a profound emotional impact on the child’s upbringing.

A photo from a funeral taking place in the Philippines has gone viral because of the saddest reason ever.

A mother of a young child passed away, and it was during the service that her young son climbed her coffin for one last time. He placed his head on it for the last embrace. The sight broke the hearts of everyone who witnessed the pure emotion coming from such a young child.

At one moment, he turned to the people and asked, “Why doesn’t Mommy sleep next to me anymore?” These words felt like a sharp knife. How can one give the answer to such a hard question and explain to a child that their mom will never come back.

The innocence of that question reflected his confusion and his pain.

It is in situations like these that the harsh reality of death becomes even more heartbreaking.
