Chuck Palahniuk. Lullaby (№ 307)

In the world there are worse things than reliving the death of his wife and child.
For example, to see how the world takes away from you. Watch, as the aging wife. As she was getting bored. As your children gradually learn all the things you tried to protect them. Drugs, divorce, accepted standards disease. All these good books, music, TV. Alway fun and distracting.
I would like to advise all parents who have lost a child to live on. And blame yourself.
To kill the ones you love, it's not the worst. There are things worse. For example, to passively stand by while their is killing the world. Just read the newspaper. So often the case.
