Here is the plot description for “Beautiful Boy”:
“Beautiful Boy” is an unconventional love story that explores the journey of a married couple on the verge of separation. They must turn to each other to overcome unimaginable heartbreak as well as brave the intense media scrutiny following their son’s shocking act of violence. Bill (Michael Sheen) and Kate’s (Maria Bello) already strained marriage is tested as they realize all they have left with each other is their shared grief and confusion along with the unfortunate legacy of their son.
While they struggle numbly through the media onslaught and the awkward pity from relatives and friends, the life-altering event forces Bill and Kate to face their feelings of guilt, rage, blame, self-discovery and ultimately hope so they can finally see each other and their chance for happiness again with clear eyes.

How can parents get on with life, and each other, after the loss
With prayer, they will never forget their son but they can only pray for comfort and strength.
You can never get over it.
You can never get over it. Ya you might have some happy times but in the end, you’ll always think about how you can possible be happy without your child.
Beautiful Boy
Unless one of the parents is directly responsible for the death, they must realize that in spite of the best parenting, kids ultimately make their own choices. THey must use love and respect each other to understand that they can only control so much. Counseling or belief in a higher being usually helps.
Grief needs to be processed.
Grief needs to be processed. The loss of a child generates blame and guilt which are painful! So it’s easier to defend against these with anger of projection or “numbing”. Obviously, these are relationship killers! Sharing terrible hurts can lead to greater intimacy.

communicating through the grief and appreciating what they have
Only those that have done so
Only those that have done so can attempt to answer this question. One can imagine it would be through counseling and support from friends, along with communication between each other.
The loss of a child
They usually can’t get on with each other after the loss of a child, especially if one blames the other.
Beautiful boy
Its hard but not impossible! Adopt another kid, there are so many kids on this world who need help…. Their child can’t be replaced, but the pain can be reduced… Isn’t it all about helping each other?
Communication is key
Having not experienced to loss of a child, I can only suggest that communication, would be the only way to work through the grief. Otherwise there is chance you would be shut down, numb and just going through the motions in life, not living it.
