Young boy stays calm during mother's burial
The clip captured the solemn moment at the graveside, where the child, dressed in white like his siblings, remained composed as the final rites were carried out.
His calmness and restraint stood out to many who watched the scene posted via the TikTok app.
A TikTok user identified as @nativepope09 followed the family as they gathered around the grave for the last part of the ceremony.
In the clip, the boy observed the proceedings with a calm presence that many found unusually mature for someone of his age.
He stayed close to his siblings and watched the coffin being laid into the earth before stepping away on his own, a gesture that drew even more attention from viewers.

As the burial workers completed their task and the soil began to cover the coffin, the child remained calm and still, showing none of the outward expressions that many would typically expect in such a moment.
The video's caption read:
"Look closely at the small boy was the first to leave. I am still wondering if surely he is not a man in a boy's body. The boy was so strong and courageous and knew everything was over when they started covering his late mum. Are you sure this is a boy? Because he swallowed all the pain and didn't show any form of weakness."
