All of our memories have good and bad components to them. In our grief we have good memories of people who stood by us, who helped us heal or were with us in our time of crisis. You could minimize the negative aspects of the moment of grief by focusing on the positive ones associated with them. In addition you could focus on the good memories you had with your child and re-living them until the negative is washed out and faded. Make the positive memories bigger and better and lessen or negate the impact of the negative memories. Cultivate the habit of positive thinking. With positive thinking you are more resilient and better prepared for healing in your grief. This is a learned skill but can be accomplished, if one wants it bad enough. I did and I spent many years replacing the flashbacks, the pain and the bad pictures with good ones. It has helped me to heal and not feel stuck in my mind with these powerful thoughts and images of negativity.
