How To Care For A Friend Who Has Lost A Child

 The loss of a child must be the most devastating blow for any parent.  In recent years during the Afghan war, so many parents have experienced this but it is not just Army casualties but daily there are accidents involving children and adolescents and there is also illness.

I wanted to share this article as often when friends are going through the trauma of the loss of a child, we are at a loss for words of comfort.

I hope this helps in some way to prepare for such a situation.
