I don't know if anyone else has linked to this article in the Saturday Guardian:
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jul/05/can-parent-get-over-death-of-a-child
As a bereaved parent, there is a lot I could relate to and I thought I would post it on here in case anyone finds it helpful.
If you haven't lost a child, it is worth reading in case it happens in your circle. I related to the need to let people respond to grief in their own way and the strong instinct to protect a surviving child.
