"In Jewish tradition, a child who loses a parent is required to say Kaddish, the mourner’s prayer, every day for 11 months, and the community recognizes you as an avel, a mourner, all that year.....But as a parent who has lost a child, as I did this spring, when my 14-year-old daughter, Orli, died, you are on your own."
