I guess I wasn't clear enough with my question. I meant a *specific* word that applies *only* to parents who've lost a child or children.

No one but a child who's lost their parents is an orphan.
No one but a man/woman who's lost their spouse is a widower/widow.
Anyone who's lost anyone they cared about is bereaved. It's not a special word just for parents who've lost a child.
