In 2016, Rob Delaney’s one-year-old son, Henry, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The family had moved from Los Angeles to London with their two young boys when Rob’s wife was pregnant with Henry, their third. The move was an adventure that would bind them even more tightly together as they navigated the novelty of London, the culture clashes, and the funhouse experience of Rob’s fame—thanks to his role as co-creator and co-star of the hit series Catastrophe. Henry’s illness was a cataclysm that changed everything about their lives.

No word for when a parent loses their child
Revisado: 12-05-22
I know nothing about Rob Delaney and his show Catastrophe; props to whomever marketed it to me via an Instagram interview he did with Honda Kotb.
I have a solid track record of reading or listening to books by people who have experienced great pain and loss (eg: Nora McInerny, Kate Bowler). Some would think it’s morbid, but I think I do it because it helps me feel alive, to know a small slice of their pain. Rob’s book was brilliant and had me gasping for air in chapter 14. Thank you, Rob, for sharing about his life. Thank you for making me cry so hard and making me want to know Henry.
There’s a reason we have a word for when a child loses their parent (orphan), or or when a person loses their spouse (widow/er). But there’s no word for when a parent loses a child because we are not meant to hold that pain. And Rob walks us through that loss in a way that builds empathy. Thank you.
