I remember the one pastor said "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away...blessed be the name of the Lord"... that was very unsettling to me as a child.

I don't come from a very religious family and I'm not currently super religious, but just looking at the surface of what the pastor said, I can see how it would be very unsettling to a child. I just think experiencing death during that age range maybe is really not spoken of that much rather than unusual. My younger sister also experienced a lot of loss during her child-hood. Not specifically that age range, but she lost 4 friends due to various illness and other things.
