Observation
My
mother never knew about her prematurely born older brother Jacob until I uncovered the documentation. As she told me, in those days one didn’t ask, and one certainly
wasn’t told! Many years later, when one of my mother's friends had a child die
prematurely, her mother said she would write and sent a condolence card and
only then did she reveal to my mother that she too had been in the same situation
many years previously, although she intimated that the child had been stillborn.
