The death of a child is an enduring loss that has a lasting impact on the life of parents. The depth of grief and pain experienced by parents after the death of a child cannot be fully understood if you have not lived that experience yourself. However, there are things that are important for those caring for bereaved parents to know in order to reflect compassion and empathy.
