[Lingtyp] Someone whose father ...

[Raffaele Simone]

Thanks for your improvements. Writing with the autocorrecting persecutor 
may entail inaccuracies. I beg your pardon.

A better wording is: "someone whose child [or brother, sister, etc.] has 
died".

Anyone have an answer to my question?

Thank you.
