When my father died, a psychiatrist working at the hospital that I then chaired said to me, “However old they were, and however old you are, the loss of a parent is a deeply emotional and important event in your life”. I am sure there are many different circumstances in which children are bereaved of their parents, but there are other relationships as well. The obligation in this amendment is to talk about children, but what about talking about your husband, wife or partner, or the person who has meant most to you in your life? People say, “Yes, it should be the person who meant most to you in your life”, so the panel has to find out who means most to you in your life. We seem to be going into a granularity on this that is not needed and is actually not very kind.
