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.
