When you first get married (or handfasted or shack up or whatever), your partner is your life and life without them is inconceivable.
When you have children, everything changes. Losing your partner now becomes conceivable (not that anyone of us wants to lose our lifemates), but losing your child does not.
It's a funny thing, really. We think we're so evolved, but we only live to bring the next generation into this world, just like salmon and marmosets and toads.
