    Technically it has happened to me as my twin brother died when he was 4 yrs. old from an infection. He was not expected to live long, as he was born with many life threatening problems. I was too born with an infection, and I somehow got over it and lived. I am thankful to still be alive. i thank the lord for every day and my future looks good, as I am healthier. I hate to of lost my brother, and I wish he was here but at least I am still here, and my parents havn't lost both children.

    I have never experienced this and hope I never do.Unfortunately, some aquaintances of mine have lost not one but two kids in the last 8 years, the first killed in shooting after an argument at a party, the second in a car accident earlier this year. I have seen two people (the parents) age thirty years in that time. The losses have crushed them, destroyed their marriage and devastated their sole remaining child.If there's a private hell on earth, they are in it.

    I can't imagine the heartbreak of someone who has lost a child. This must be one of the hardest things that a person could endure. It's kind of hard to know what to say to someone who has actually been through this. But there is one thing I know for sure.  If you know anybody that has ever gone through this, the only thing I can say is be there for them.

    This  has to be one of the most horrible things that can happen to a parent. I know so many people personally who have experienced the death of a child or young adult.my aunt and uncle lost two of their three kids at 24 and 29.within three years. a boy I knew was killed in a freak accident at 16 his mother only lived six more years after that.we have relatives who have each buried a grown son or daughter after they commited suicide.just recently a cousin lost a baby grandchild to murder when she was beaten to death for crying. and that is only a partial list. it really undoes me each time I hear of these people I have known who have lost kids I have witnessed their devastation and reminds me how precious your kids are.just cannot imagine how horrible this can be. no one can ever get over this.  I was not sure how to rate this star wise since it said 5=great I would assume 1= terrible. so for me 1 for being a terrible event to happen to someones life.

    On May 24th 2001 my wife and I lost our precious grandson, Nathan Joseph Guardian. Nothing could have prepared us for this. On top of losing our grandson, we had to watch our daughter and son-in-law go through the agony of losing their child. None of us will ever get over it, especially our daughter. Our only comfort is knowing he is with the Lord and that someday we will see him again.

    This is not the kind of thing that a parent, or grandparent, or friend can ever be prepared for. No matter how often we hear about it in the news, when it hits home, there is no such thing as desensitization. This will crush a person's life.A friend of mine is going through this right now. She lost her infant son in the worst way. She was beat within an inch of her life and her child was murdered by her husband. Intense physical and psychological therapy, competing with grief and guilt, seems like an over-whelming combination to have to deal with, doesn't it? There's no end in sight to this recovery.Well, this person communicates with two people...her therapist and myself. She hasn't mustered the conviction to go out yet and orders everything from the internet...including her food. She's alone. She was convinced that she needed to find a way to start lightening her load by expressing herself any way she could. Being a former RIA reviewer, she found her way back here, as a place to writ...
