In our small circle of our close friends, 7 couples have lost a child. By being their friend and listening to them speak of their loss, I think I have gained some understanding of what it means to lose one so close. That said, if it were to happen to me, I'd probably find I really have no idea at all.
I don't have the words to make it better but I sure know that if I did, every such parent would hear them. About the best I can do right now is to quote a well known saying about "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all."
My thoughts are with you.
