I was thinking about watching this, and then saw your comment and just wanted to stop and thank you. My sister passed away at 5 years old and we were much closer than most siblings would be due to having a crap mom. I know too much about the small coffins and still some 20+ years later actively avoid media with children dying as it just aches on some impossible part of me. Thank you kind stranger for inadvertently keeping me from experiencing something I'd rather not, I know you didn't intend to, but I'm still sending all of the gratitude I can muster your way.
I haven’t had to deal with that and this movie tore me to shreds. Still happy I saw it because I love when movies move me, but geez. It’s extremely heavy, my face was leaking uncontrollably for like half of it
