Sorrow recorded on Stone

I saw this Gravestone in Preston Cemetery and found myself thinking about the sorrow that must have been felt by the Greenwood family. So many young ones spent but a short time on earth!

Far more than their fair share. Hard times indeed. Hard to imagine their grief, and yet they kept trying... hope springs eternal ?

What a life of heartbreak. I can imagine starting out with an optimistic outlook and then slowly being crushed by life's cruel events. Looks like the parents didn't live so long either.
