This is exactly what went through my mind as well.
Not only would the pain be unbearable for years, but my guess is that the lives of both of the parents would take a massive turn for the worse. The blame and guilt would probably tear the marriage apart. I know of a family that had their child molested by a grandfather, and it killed the marriage. I can't imagine what a death of a child would do.
I can say with all honesty that I would not have the strength to deal with this type of tragedy.
