When your child has died, does that no longer make you a mother or a father?

Answer 1

You will always be that childs mother or father, except after a child dies you are not only a mother or father to a child but also to an Angel.

Answer 2

You become a mother/father the moment the child is conceived and you remain so forever. Just like if the roles was reversed, the child would stil have a mother or father even if the parent was dead.

Answer 3

You will always be a Mother and Father. When your children are grown, you don't lose your title. Losing a child has to be the worst hurt in the world. My Mother died before my Grandmother. My Mom was 64 My grandmother 86 and you could see on her face how much pain my grandmother was in.

Answer 4

You will always be a mother or father.

It would be like asking if your parents died would that no longer make you a son or daughter. Of course not. Just because someone is gone it doesn't change who you were because of them.

Answer 5

You will always be a mother and a father. If your child has died, i am so so sorry. but nothing can ever take the memory of him/her or the fact that you brought that special baby into this world.

Answer 6

Yes they would still be a mother or father. My son died when he was 3 months old, he's still my baby boy. No matter what!

Answer 7

No, not at all! My brother died when we were kids, and I always say that I have 2 brothers and one sister - it's just that one of my brothers died. It's the same with with being a Mom or Dad. You are a parent, it's just that your child has passed away.

Answer 8

You will always be a mother or father, your child is still alive in your heart

Answer 9

No, that does not, not make you a parent. i have also lost a child and it is a hard hump to get over. one you may never get over. you need to celebrate their life and their birthday. have a birthday cake on their bday, and buy yourself a present :) or just a present to remember them by. you are not alone, many other s are dealing with the same issue. its ok to cry and its ok to talk about it. still make a scrapbook. fill it up, it will be easier once you start. and once you start the more craftier you will be, even if your not a crafty person, b/c its a special book. and please dont forget to go visit them where they r. its a hard step, but dont be embarrased, thats where you should be- when your ready. but it will help to go there, it will almost be a peaceful setting after awhile.
gl :) and i hoped this help, rather than not

Answer 10

I firmly hold to the belief that once a parent, always a parent (and I believe that begins in utero, as soon as you really begin to bond with your child and make decisions for your child). Just as when a parent dies, the child never forgets that parent and continues to honor him or her by memorials, visiting a grave, etc....A parent would likely do the same thing.
