    <p>Thanks for your improvements. Writing with the autocorrecting
      persecutor may entail inaccuracies. I beg your pardon.</p>
    <p>A better wording is: "someone whose child [or brother, sister,
      etc.] has died".<br>
    </p>
    <p>Anyone have an answer to my question?<br>
    </p>
    <p>Thank you.</p>

                <p>Dear colleagues, <br>
                </p>
                <p>words like <i>widower </i>and <i>orphan </i>imply
                  a complex web of relationships. An orphan is someone
                  whose father or mother has died; a widower is someone
                  whose wife or husband has died. <br>
                </p>
                <p>Do you know any language in which there are words
                  that mean "someone to whom a child has died", "someone
                  to whom a brother or sister has died" etc.?</p>
                <p>Thanks,</p>
                <p>R Simone<br>
