Need possible animes for a project

I've found a song that I want to do a video to: "Ghosts of Jackon Square" by Edwin McCain, but can't find the anime to go with it. What I'm looking for is an anime that touches on a parent's loss of a child. Of course, the anime itself can be about anything, but the death of a child and grieving parent(s) would need to be included in the footage somewhere.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm...*think think think*

Well, could you still use the anime if it was the other way around? For example, could it be the child's loss of a parent?

If so, then I would suggest Fruits Basket, since there is a decent amount of footage throughout the anime of the main character losing her mother (don't worry, that's not a spoiler; you learn it in the first episode).

If not, then I'm not sure I can help. In anime, it seems to be a lot more common to see "child has lost parent" than "parent has lost child."

I hope that helps.

A few series to look into with that sort of theme :
Pet Shop of Horrors
Kurau : Phantom Memory
Teizokurei Daydream
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
Saikano

Unfortunately, I don't think it would work as well. The lyrics works far too well for a parents loss rather than a child's.

Thanks IcyCloud. I don't recognize any of those, but I'll look into getting copies and see if any fit.

Alrighty then. I'll have to find that song and see if anything else sparks. Also, Icy may be on to something with Saikano. I haven't seen the other suggested anime, but that one may work.

Parents griving over a death of a child? I believe there were a couple instances that happened in the mecha series Fafner that just got released by Geneon.

In Detective Conan, Episode 7, a man grieves over the loss of his son, but it has limited footage. It would probably only work if you were going to make a video with more than one anime, or unless you could dig up a few more episodes of Detective Conan where something similar happens. Such as, in episode 6, a mother mourns over the death of her (teenage) son that she commited, after she gets caught. And in other episodes, parents mourn over their deceased (murdered) sons and daughters, but those were the only two I could think of off the top of my head.

Mainly one episode in Digimon 02, parents lose the elder of two brothers.
