WE'VE all seen Facebooks new 'Year in Review' feature giving us the chance to relive some of the many memories we've made over the past year. 

For many of us this is the opportunity to look back on the happier events of the year but not everyone has had such a happy year.

One user in the US highlighted the issue after coming face to face with images of his six-year-old daughter who died earlier in the year.
