LOSS OF LOVED ONE TAG

Often times a death of a loved one can change the future course of a person's life.  For instance the child born after his father's death, or the father who loses three small children in quick succession.  Often these events affect how a person reacts to future events.  The child is raised by grandparents or the father becomes an alcoholic.  By recording this loss of loved one, we can explain what later happens due to the context of this original loss. 

This is Carol Andrunas Oswalt's tag called Loss.  She uses to show that a child of a young age lost a parent, or a parent lost a child of a very young age.
