I dont believe that it even has to be within a family. My god mother died of breast cancer I think and too this day i think that it was her leaving that allowed a special friend to fall preg after trying sooo many things. I thank her all the time and having her middle name im reminded of her everytime i have to give my full name. The fact her and i shared a fav colour and she was buried in a coffin of that colour makes our bond stonger.

So yes I do believe in that 100%
