Death is a very difficult time, when someone is in their last days. I never get used to seeing someone who has been so vital throughout their lives, in there final days/hours.

You need to be strong and there for your Cousin and given that much needed support. After the parting it will take a long time to move on. Be brave.

Sometimes after the funeral etc it can be a good idea to discuss the good and bad of their relationship, be there for your Cousin and be open to discuss the good and bad, this will help Her move on over an extended period of time. Do not suffocate, be there for her.

Hello,

There is no more devastating news for loved ones to hear. I know it well. Try and support your cousin and close family as best you can while taking care of your own needs too.

I am thinking of you and sending you hugs.

Hi I am so sorry and I feel for you. Tears are fine and a natural reaction. I know it's very difficult but try to be strong for your cousin and her husband. Don't cry in front of them and let them know you are there for them. That's all you can do. It's all very sad.

I'm afraid our culture teaches us to deny death right up to the end hence hide your tears. I don't care for this I think you feel what you feel and it's valid. When my brother died we laughed at times and cried together and we were quiet at times. It seemed the most natural thing in the world. Painful but natural.No one remembers their birth, it was a process you went through. Death is also a human process and we all go through it. . Try to remember the good times and be grateful this person was a part of your life. Celebrate that. Pam
