Sorry for your loss.
When losing your wife or husband, you're a widow.
When losing your parents, you're an orphan.
There is no word for parents to bury their child before their time.
Sorry for your loss.
If wanted by the OP and the devs, I'd humbly suggest to name a star after the child.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you guys for your work, and to let you know how Elite has helped me lately. My six month old daughter unexpectedly passed away in her sleep at daycare a month ago. Obviously my wife and I are completely crushed. In an effort to try and distract myself, I downloaded Elite onto my PS4 and fired it up. It has done more for me in dealing with my grief than I can really explain. It’s been just enough to distract me, yet engage me enough to think over my grief and try to work through it. Doing exploring missions is relaxing and soothing, which is what I’ve really needed lately. I’m tearing up right now just thinking about it.
Thanks again for all your work. You never know when you begin a project, how it will impact people down the line one day, and yours has done more than I could ever thank you for. Thank you so much.

EDIT: Thank you commanders for all of your kind words. It means a lot.
