Like when someone who has lost a spouse, they are a widow or a widower. What is someone who lost their child? Is there a word? In any language?

I don't think there is any word for that in any language! Maybe there is no word... because words are not enough to describe the pain and sadness that the parents are suffering. Maybe because people want to move on and not be reminded of their loss everyday!

from time to time to describe somebody who loses a newborn, this is declared : The Bereaved mothers and fathers of, "(Childs call)" and of direction this term is purely used quickly, maybe for a pair of weeks throughout the time of any form of employer that concerns the deceased newborn, which comprise for economic presents to the kinfolk, or in newspapers write ups, coverage etc. Or you could actually desire to assert ...The Loving kinfolk of... those words are used to respectfully handle mothers and fathers and different enjoyed ones of the youngster,in basic terms for a limited time, in comparison to Widow/er. There are not the different time-honored words different than to assert :Their Little Angel, ..Our Little Angel.

There is not a term for it. There is a term for a child who loses his/her parents, for a person who loses his/her spouse but the reason there is not a term for a parent who loses a cjild is because it goes against nature. Children are the ones who are supposed to bury their parents, not the other way around.

Been there, done that. Agree with Barbara C. I don't think there isn't a word because there just isn't any word that can describe how completely devastating and empty that feeling is.

Bereaved would work for someone suffering any loss but it's not specific to a parent losing a child.

A loss of child, means death of a child. A lost child means missing but alive or dead.

No and it is a good thing because the pain is so intense that no word could describe the situation.

devestated, I don't think there is any paticular word, I dont' think you can sum up that type of pain in one single word. Interesting question though. I will be interested to see if anyone knows of one.

That's a very good question. I am not familiar with a term for someone like that.
