[Opinions] Re: Unity
I wonder whether Mourning was stillborn, or born after the loss of a child?

Could be, though I've seen it used fairly often (for a rare word name anyway, about as often as Obedience, Deliverance, Morning) for people who lived into old age, with seemingly no death of the mother or a sibling. I've seen Mourning Dove, too, which makes me feel like its usage can be connected to the slightly more common Dove.
