Who died young in your family?

My older sister died during childbirth exactly a year before I was born. My mum was devastated but nobody ever talked about it. It was like it didn't happen, but she lives on in my heart.

My mum's cousin had two daughters. One of them died aged 7 on a holiday in France with meningitis. I didn't mention it to them at my nan's funeral. I didn't know if they wanted me to bring it up so I said nothing.

As an aside, Scotland's biggest tabloid put it on their front page because a family friend did a fundraiser. This added to the grief.
