re: Have any of you had a child die ?

So very sorry for you loss and anyone in this thread that has lost a child. I don't think that losing a child is something that most parents can rationally comprehend and accept, certainly without scarring. It is simply the worst.

My in-laws are in their 70's and its obvious that they are still deeply wounded by the loss of their daughter that died a few days after birth.

On an unrelated note, I'm glad I don't know anyone that would down vote someone for sharing a pain this personal.
