My first year doing taxes for H&R was also the year K-Bug was born. I had a client, young military guy, whose wife and child had died during childbirth. I don't recall why now, but the story had been big in the local papers. When I saw his name, I remembered the story and my heart jumped in my throat. I hated having to ask questions about his wife and the child, but it was part of my job. That was over 17 years ago and it still makes my heart ache.
I hope I treated him and his grief with as much care as you obviously did in your situation.
