Parental hurt is an altogether different kind of hurt. I have felt it in a few cases but 'life struggle' issues are likely on another level. I can empathize only to the limits of what I know and can only wonder how, and hope, they continue to stay strong.

This. My heart aches on a whole new level when I hear/read/experience children and parents going through such hard things. We've had very close friends lose children at a very young age and it's heartbreaking.

I have nothing but sympathy for everyone involved and admiration for the strength of the parents. Few people are more motivated and capable than parents being told that a problem that affects their children cannot be solved.
