A friend of mine's father lost both of his sons including my friend.

One was a motorcycle wreck as a teenager, the 2nd was a heart attack in his early 50's.

At the 2nd funeral the father hung his head and said "why me". I felt terrible for him and still do.

Loosing a child has to be the worst thing that could happen

Didn't read all the responses so this has probably been said.. but life isn't about you. You aren't the only one the death of the child happens to. You have to go on for your wife and your other child/children. Sometimes life deals you an absolutely devastating hand, even sometimes at no fault of your own. The beauty of life is taking the absolutely worst, most devastating events of your life and moving forward with those experiences as a better person, husband, father, son, friend. A day won't go by where you don't think about it. You just have to keep going.

So, if your young child dies, how do you manage to not immediately blow your brains out? Not from guilt...from just sheer devastation?

I have 2 kids under 2. If anything happened to either of them, there’s no way I could go on. Absolutely no chance whatsoever. Call me a pussy...whatever. But I can no longer picture life without them.

How the frick do those if you who have lost a child (especially a young child) make it through life after?
This may not come out the right way, but if you have multiple and 1 dies, I can see it being a bit "easier," for lack of a better word, to be motivated to push through.

If you have 1 or if you have multiple and they all die, then yea, I just don't see how you go on from that.
