OP There are words for one who has lost a spouse -- widow or widower. An orphan is a child who has lost parents. Does anyone know if there is a word for parents who have lost a child? Is anyone familiar with such a word in any language? If no one else can think of a word, are there any thoughts as to why there wouldn't be a word to denote such a loss of primary relationship?
