Well, not much. Shakespeare was away most of the time while Hamnet was growing up. When he died, Shakespeare was on tour in Kent because there was plague in London (but not outside of London, which was why the Chamberlain's Men were playing there, and why we know Hamnet didn't die of it). Shakespeare probably didn't get the news of Hamnet's death until after the funeral. He probably visited Hamnet's grave.
