Anon recently had a conversation with a friend and found out both had been to funerals for classmates or cousins before they turned 20, while it seems a lot of people of similar ages have only lost much-older relatives, if anyone. Since death– especially at young ages– isn't talked about very much in some cultures, anon would like to know how common this experience is.
