I think that it is important that your son talks through the feelings and questions he may have. Even if it is rambling and he doesn't want anyone to repsond. Same with you.
I suppose if you are looking for a 'reason', you could say that it will make other parents more aware of their children. When things like this happen it always brings a new understanding of current relationships in your life.

I mean no disrespect, but may I suggest being a bit more reserved at suggestings reasons for others who experience such a loss? I think it's a bit more individualistic than that, and I'm not so sure it does always bring about new understandings of current relationships. It wasn't exactly like that in our loss of a baby to SIDS.
Again, I mean no disrespect to you, nor am I trying to personally attack, and I sincerely hope you do not take it that way. Simply responding with another perspective, from the experience of losing a child.
And I noticed it was far different for me to loss my child, when watching and comparing my grandmother's loss of her son. I suppose that would be obvious, but the comparison / contrast struck me at the time, and stuck with me, and helped me realize losses of children are very individualistic experiences.
Blessings.
