  • @DoubleAA Seems like an answer more than a comment (though I wouldn't count Zeresh because she isn't mentioned as having lost a child; there's also Amaziah in Amos 7:17 whose children's death is predicted but not mentioned)

    I think you should edit the OPs examples from the question to this answer with sourcea and label them his. More organized.
