A WOMAN WHO LOSES HER SPOUSE IS CALLED A WIDOW, A MAN WHO LOSES HIS SPOUSE IS CALLED A WIDOWER, A CHILD WHO HAS LOST BOTH PARENTS IS CALLED AN ORPHAN, BUT WHY ISN'T A PERSON WHO HAS LOST A CHILD? WELL IT TURNS OUT THERE IS A WORD FOR THAT. "VILOMHA" IS A SANSKRIT WORD THAT'S BEEN USED IN HINDU PHILOSOPHY FOR CENTURIES, AND IS NOW USED TO DESCRIBE A PARENT WHO HAS LOST A CHILD. THE TERM "VILOMHA PARENT" WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE A VIOLATION OF THE NATURAL OF THINGS.
