Unnatural

If your spouse died, you’re either called a widow or widower.
If both your parents died, you are called an orphan.
But what if the parents outlived their son or daughter, what do you call them? I honestly don’t know. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such word. Why? Maybe because it is not the proper order of things, it is just not natural… or maybe it is just too horrible to fathom.

My sincerest condolences. I can only imagine what you are feeling right now. My heart goes out to you….
