How do you explain death to a child who has only known maternal love? For Khayne, 5, the disappearance of his mother was a deep sleep from which he believed she would eventually wake up. His innocence led him to a heartbreaking act: every day, he would sit by the coffin, trying to regain this bond that had been broken too soon. His story has deeply moved the entire world.

What should have been a moment of joy turned into an unspeakable ordeal for the family. But the hardest part was Khayne’s incomprehension in the face of this loss.
