‘Memory is the treasure house of the mind, wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved’, goes a memorable quote. But some monuments kept inside the memory are too heavy to lift, yet too dear to move. Just like Joe Biden’s memory of his eldest son, who passed away in 2015. A recent stop at a Catholic shrine led to a chance meeting with the chaplain who performed the last rites on his son Beau Biden. After learning about Biden’s emotional encounter, Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s ex-wife Maria Shriver pens a heartfelt note on grief and parenthood.

The former wife of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, has been a strong personality in spreading positivity around the world, in whichever way possible. In her latest Tweet, Shriver shared her profound take on the permanent void of suffering a loss of a child.

Maria Shriver recently tweeted, “This stopped me. How moving @POTUS. Grief lasts years and make no mistake, a parent’s grief is never done”. Shriver, the mother of four children, knows the joy and warmth that children bring to the lives of their parents. And losing them at any point in life could leave a scar that can never be healed.

Shriver shared the Associated Press tweet alongside, which read, “President Joe Biden was moved to tears during a stop at a Catholic shrine when he discovered that a chaplain working there had performed last rites on his late son Beau Biden”. President Biden visited the Knock Shrine this Friday. It is a pilgrimage site where, according to Catholic lore, saints Mary, Joseph, and John the Baptist appeared near a stone wall in 1879.
