You can never get over the loss of a child. They will be broken as people for the rest of their lives. But they will find a "new normal". Our marriage is still on life support after the loss of our babies born too soon.
What Ian said +1,000,000 with the added suggestion that they speak with a counselor to process and continue communication. As a friend, please read the list of what not to say to parents who have lost a baby. There are lots of things that people say as well meaning but are truly horrific. Provide meals, a welcoming shoulder to cry on and listen and never leave the little one out in conversations for fear of hurting them. The most hurtful thing for a parent who has lost a child is for the world to forget/move on like their child didn't exist. Honor the little ones' memory.

This is the worst thing in the world for parents, to out live their children. I am heartbroken and must type through my tears even though I do not know them. Our prayers and hope for some peace this Christmas holiday without their little one for the whole family.
Anthony, Irene, Felicia & Isabella

100% agreed.. Its something that one never gets over but learns to live with...somehow.
Do not exclude the deceased from their conversation as you said. Listen to their story and listen to what they want to tell you about their loss and their loved one. There is no time limit on grieving. People dealing with a loss of a family member, need others to listen, hug and cry with them, and try understand. Plus many grieve in different ways and that also needs to be understood. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
