Why Is It That There's No Common Name For A Person That Loses A Child? by thrizzle(m): 8:47pm On Dec 20, 2014
A man that loses his wife is a widower
A woman that loses her husband is a widow
A child that loses both parents is an orphan

But what's a person that loses a child called?
Or a person that loses a sibling?

Hmm, someone decided not to create it as they never wish to be in that situation.

On friday my very good friend and sister had a still birth, she said this particular words the op wrote here and she burst into tears. No name for a woman that lost a child, only husband and parents. May God comfort anyone that has ever lost a child, its sad

Seeing this topic made me flashback to my neighbour who lost her little girl just last month. Imagine if it was the lady viewing this thread. Op's intentions for creating this thread may have been innocent, but threads such as this can reopen healing wounds. Let's be careful about the type of topic we put out there. Besides why do you want to know. Do you wish to lose a child in future? I reject it for you.
