How do you get over the death of an only child especially when there is no one else left?
I am truly sorry that you are going through this and there is nothing worse than losing a child because parents always expect their children will out-live them. The truth of the matter is, life will get better for you, but you'll never get over this loss 100%. I lost twin sons shortly after birth and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of them. It took me some time to get over the initial shock and grief of it all. I began to realize that perhaps God felt this child was very special and as cruel as it may seem to you there are reasons for such deaths. My husband 25 year old brother committed suicide which was terrible blow to the family, especially my husband's parents. The parents seem to blame themselves and wonder if they could do something different, but I believe destiny takes it's course whether we agree with it or not. Although his parents grieved constantly in a silent way there was still fun and laughter with family and friends. You have to reach out and make friends because there are a lot of nice people out there. There are grief counselors (groups as well) for parents who have lost children. It's a good idea to go there as you won't feel so alone. Just phone Mental Health in your area and they will help you. Please believe me when I say life will get better for you. Reach out and touch others and go to that group counseling. Hope this helps; "........ And Kisa Gotami had an only son, and he died. In her grief she carried the dead child to all her neighbors, asking them for medicine, and the people said: "She has lost her senses. The boy is dead. At length Kisa Gotami met a man who replied to her request: "I cannot give you medicine for your child, but I know a physician who can." The girl said: "Pray tell me, sir; who is it?" And the man replied: "Go to Sakyamuni, the Buddha." Kisa Gotami repaired to the Buddha and cried: "Lord and Master, give me the medicine that will cure my boy." The Buddha answered: "I want a handful of mustard-seed." And when the girl in her joy promised to procure it, the Buddha added: "The mustard-seed must be taken from a house where no one has lost a child, husband, parent, or friend." Poor Kisa Gotami now went from house to house, and the people pitied her and said: "Here is mustard-seed; take it!" But when she asked, "Did a son or daughter, a father or mother, die in your family?" they answered her: "Alas the living are few, but the dead are many. Do not remind us of our deepest grief." And there was no house but some beloved one had died in it. Kisa Gotami became weary and hopeless, and sat down at the wayside, watching the lights of the city, as they flickered up and were extinguished again. At last the darkness of the night reigned everywhere. And she considered the fate of men, that their lives flicker up and are extinguished. And she thought to herself: "How selfish am I in my grief! Death is common to all; yet in this valley of desolation there is a path that leads him to immortality who has surrendered all selfishness." Putting away the selfishness of her affection for her child, Kisa Gotami had the dead body buried in the forest. Returning to the Buddha, she took refuge in him and found comfort in the Dharma, which is a balm that will soothe all the pains of our troubled hearts. The Buddha said: "The life of mortals in this world is troubled and brief and combined with pain. For there is not any means by which those that have been born can avoid dying; after reaching old age there is death; of such a nature are living beings. As ripe fruits are early in danger of falling, so mortals when born are always in danger of death. As all earthen vessels made by the potter end in being broken, so is the life of mortals. Both young and adult, both those who are fools and those who are wise, all fall into the power of death; all are subject to death. "Of those who, overcome by death, depart from life, a father cannot save his son, nor kinsmen their relations. Mark I while relatives are looking on and lamenting deeply, one by one mortals are carried off, like an ox that is led to the slaughter. So the world is afflicted with death and decay, therefore the wise do not grieve, knowing the terms of the world. In whatever manner people think a thing will come to pass, it is often different when it happens, and great is the disappointment; see, such are the terms of the world. "Not from weeping nor from grieving will any one obtain peace of mind; on the contrary, his pain will be the greater and his body will suffer. He will make himself sick and pale, yet the dead are not saved by his lamentation. People pass away, and their fate after death will be according to their deeds. If a man live a hundred years, or even more, he will at last be separated from the company of his relatives, and leave the life of this world. He who seeks peace should draw out the arrow of lamentation, and complaint, and grief. He who has drawn out the arrow and has become composed will obtain peace of mind; he who has overcome all sorrow will become free from sorrow, and be blessed."

Who took Whitney Houston's picture in her casket?
At this point, we do not have that information. The unauthorized photo, which appeared in the tabloid publication "The National Enquirer," was said to have been taken at the funeral home at a time before the closed-casket funeral; if that is so, the Enquirer may have paid someone at the funeral home to leak a copy of the photo. But on the other hand, Whitney's family has not publicly said this was in fact a photo of her, and the photo may have been digitally altered.
Did Eli Whitney receive an award?
No. Awards were not given out like they are today. His cotton gin invention was copied because it was so simple to make and he didn't make any money from it. He went to court to protect his patent but the costs of court and other reasons deprived him of his profits. In 1789 he was granted a government contract to make 10,000 muskets using his new process of interchangeable parts. Although the concept of interchangeable parts wasn't new and didn't come in use until the machine tool industry was developed his factory at Mill Rock was the first to use the process. This time he did make money on his invention. When he finally died in 1825 he was a wealthy man and his firm was passed to his son. Eventually, this became the Winchester Arms Company.
How did Whitney Houston got aids?
She did not have AIDS. That is another of those internet myths, and it is false. Whitney Houston died from drowning in her bathtub, a direct result of her addiction to drugs.
It wasn't so much that the family didn't think Bobby was good enough. They worried that he did not have a good relationship history, and he was a drug user. They were concerned that she was choosing a "bad boy" who would not be a positive influence on her. And they seem to have been right. That said, Whitney told interviewers that she really loved Bobby (and vice versa); but the marriage was very tempestuous (typical of relationships between two people who use hard drugs), and later, it turned violent. That is probably why they got divorced. No doubt, even later, they still had some feelings for each other, and by all accounts, both loved their daughter Bobbi Kristina.
