First he tells about the "reactions of loved one", so it covers every kind of loss. Then he goes on about his own perception of what hits HIM the most. It's subjective, and there could be thousands of reasons why that particular type of relationship affects him harder than other ones. Don't take it personally.
Sorry for my reaction, I wasn't thinking right.
It's okay, you have a daughter and you felt like someone was underappreciating your love for her I guess. What bothers me is that your comment started a gender war on a post about loss of loved one, but it's not your fault
No, I see it too. I can't put my finger on it, but "father to son, mother to daughter" stories often have this kind of weird undertone I can't quite name.
Is it like as if the stories want to vanglory (is this the English word) parents as if they were great even though they aren't perfect?
No, maybe its American gender fascism? In my country, media propaganda has an obsession with a certain type of conversation about how men and women should be. Maybe it's "nuclear family" propaganda? Something like that. It feels something like that. I can't put my finger on it.
