Trigger for talk of grief/death sort of.....

I was telling T about some issues from childhood and I didn't know whether it was out of the norm experiences or if this was something most kids went through... so if you don't mind sharing your experiences ...when you were little lets say ages 5 to 12, how many children did you know that died? classmates, friends, siblings of friends, that sort of thing... sorry if the topic is uncouchlike...
