My condolences. I lost a niece last year who had seizures all of her life that noone thought were life-threatening. I lost a nephew last year who died a week shy of his 20th birthday.

I did not have a chance to know them very well, so I can still barely imagine what you are feeling.

Some people are given a long time to make an impression on the world, and some are given much less. Their only memorial is in the thoughts of others. Sometimes the only thing they can leave us is the reminder how precious and limited a gift life is.
