Arimura Kasumi plays an important role in both.
While Our departures follows a young girl whose partner has died and she has been left to take care of the partner's child, in umi no hajimari the boy is discovering that he is the father for the first time after the death of an exgirlfriend.
Both stories deal with discovering what family means and having to take care of a child who has lost a parent.
