Q
It is said that Allah grants our prayers when it's associated with our kids. In my case, I prayed and prayed that my son would be healthy while he was in my womb after finding out that my child had a severe heart defect.
My son passed away 15 days later from the time I gave birth. His heart just kept getting worse and worse. Why didn't Allah grant my prayers? Why did Allah take my child knowing I loved him so much?
And when everyone says he shall reward me with something better, what can be better than the life of my child? Please help. I'm grieving here.

Answer
In this counseling video:
The rewards of all you have endured are with Allah.
One of the biggest trials for a person to go through is to lose a child.
Things may seem difficult for now, but it will get easier in time.
Be patient with yourself and allow yourself the time it takes to grieve.
