My father was 6 months old when his mother (my paternal grandmother) died in October 1918 from ... The Spanish Flu. His father married again quickly because 4 young kids at home. She died 3 months later from Spanish flu. My father and his brother (youngest two) then off to an orphanage for a bit before my grandfather married again and the kids could be cared for. Then it went bad for 100 years of him divorcing twice and me divorcing once and kids being caught in the middle and no happy memories for 3 generations. I fully understand the ramifications of a parent being lost at 28yo with 4 kids. That's why I do this research.
