You are so right - as Neugeboren says
"A wife who loses her husband is called a widow.
A husband who loses his wife is called a widower
A child who loses his parents is called an orphan
But... there is no word for a parent who loses a child,
thats how awful the loss is!"

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
