Philosophe Ombouma – Word for parent who lost child ?

~ michelvanderburg

‘Le Philosophe’ Ombouma asked me : What is the Word … for the parent who lost his/her child ? – May 6, Around Alphen , Holland
In Dutch : Wij hebben woorden voor weduwe , weduwnaar , en wees. Maar hoe noem je de ouder als zijn kind is overleden ?!
We have words for widow, widower , orphan … but what is the word for a parent who lost a child ?!
Why is there no word … ?

Memory Track

~ michelvanderburg

Régine Krochmal and Francine Mayran at the 2011 commemoration of Transport XX in Boortmeerbeek (Belgium) – listening to the poem “Ce que j’ai encore à vous dire” by Serge Smulevic – read by his cousin Georges Rakier.

… Aujourd’hui
c’est la renaissance du racisme
c’est l’espérance du fascisme
Ils sont de retour, à nouveau Tous ces anciens fléaux !
Aujourd’hui
J’ai soixante-quinze ans
La colère me retourne les sangs …

Serge Smulevic (20 April 1996)
