It’s always heart-breaking when someone passes away, but there’s something especially tragic about a sudden, unexpected death or the death of someone young.

You know you’ve had those moments of seeing that perfectly edited picture of that couple on Instagram, or that girl with the perfect outfit, hair, eyebrows, and skin. You see them or her and think their life must be so… well, perfect. You get that …
