This heartbreaking photo from the Philippines shows a young boy trying to climb into his mother’s coffin to embrace her one last time. Captured by grieving relatives and shared on Facebook, the image moved thousands to tears.

The boy, too young to fully understand death, asked, “Why doesn’t Mommy sleep next to me anymore?” His innocent question reflects the deep pain of losing a parent at such a tender age.

According to Perfect Media, the child took a chair just to reach his mother and hug her goodbye—one final act of love.

No child should face such loss so young. This emotional moment reminds us to cherish our loved ones every day, because life can change in an instant.

Love, time, and compassion are the most precious gifts we can give.
