Losing a child is an unbearable pain. I lost a daughter in my first marriage. It leaves an emptiness that can never be filled.

My sister died at age 32..my parents have never been quite the same since....
every time I stop to think about her and my parents I have to tell myself that there is more to this world than I understand and I have to keep going for all their sakes....

With 2 children of my own ...loosing one seems so unimaginable....JZ
 
Always remember how thankful we are. No matter what your problems, somone elses can make yours look pretty trivial.

I had to wonder, have they ruled out foul play, since the father is a law-enforcement officer?
 
Sadly, I know of 2 similar situations first-hand. I worked with a guy named Chris, who had a younger brother James. They were about 23 and 20 respectively. They worked at 2 different car dealers a mile or so apart and decided to go apartment hunting on a lunch break in a hopped up CRX Si Chris owned. They went off the right side of the road a mile from their parents home (I think they had gone by there for something) and overcorrected crossing the center line and hitting an accord head on. Both were killed (and the girl driving the accord was hurt pretty badly) and the CRX was literally in pieces. These guys were 6'4" or so, and the truly sad thing was that their mother worked in accounting where Chris and I worked, so we had to see first hand what it's like to lose your only children. I am not sure I could go on. You say you would, but I really do not know if I would be able to. The other case, I knew the parents, but not the kids. They had a teenage son and daughter who were hit head on by a drunk driver who came over a hill in the wrong lane. They could no longer live in the house that the kids grew up in, but they also could not bring themselves to change the kid's rooms, so they still own the house, which looks just like it did on the inside over a decade ago when this happened, but no one lives there (they bought another home, but kept this one also).
