It is every parent's worst fear to lose a child. I know it is my biggest fear. And for the lucky ones, it is just that - a fear. Unfortunately though, there are so many parents whose nightmare turns into living nightmare.

No parent should ever have to bury their child, and celebrities are no exception to this. They may live lavish lifestyles, never have to worry about money or paying bills, but they are not immune to the heartache that comes with the loss of a child. It is a pain many know all too well, a pain that never heals. No matter the child's age, whether 2 years old or fifty, the pain is the same in the heart of the parent.

There are many celebrities who have lost a child. Some were very widely publicized, others were kept quiet and may come as a surprise. How terrible it is to lose a child, but also to be famous and have reporters constantly bringing it up and asking questions which are incredibly inappropriate. Questions a normal person wouldn't ask someone who just lost their child.

Many celebrities who have had a child pass don't enjoy talking about it to the media, and who can blame them?
