Trent Lott: “The loss of child is probably the greatest heartache that any parent can experience or could conceivably experience.…”

On the recordJune 27, 1997
The loss of child is probably the greatest heartache that any parent can experience or could conceivably experience. Last fall, Senator Santorum and his wife, Karen, faced that tragedy. Most of us, I am sure, had occasion to speak with them then and were impressed by their faith and their courage. Senator Santorum talks about his family's experience in an article in the May 23 issue of ``National Right to Life News.'' Its title is ``A Brief Life That Changed Our Lives Forever.'' It is very powerful, and I urge my colleagues to take the opportunity to read this article, because I think it will affect their lives also.
