This might be kind of long, so bear with me please.(This is a real question..so don`t be rude)
About a year ago, my 23 year old cousin died.This guy was unbelivable. He was seriously like my second brother & he was soo funny. Anyways, I went to the funeral and saw all my family members there and you know, I started crying. Months went by & it seemed like I got over it. And I really did.
I have this picture of him(not even big at all) on my wall and I looked at it last night and just started crying. I mean, I stayed up all night crying for my cousin because I just barely realized that I'm not over my cousin's death. And the weird part is that I just started crying after I THOUGHT i was over his death. Totally weird I know. I couldn`t even go to school because I didn`t get any sleep.
I don`t really know what my question is, but I guess I`m asking how I can actually get over his death & cope with the fact that he isn`t coming back. I realize that he isn`t coming back, and I think that`s what makes me soo sad in the first place.Now I feel all depressed. Please help me.
I'm sorry that you had that death in your family. I understand where you're coming from. I also had to deal with the loss of my best friend. We were so close, and when she died I felt like I lost a part of myself. It's been 2 years since she died and I reacently realized that mourning and crying all the time will not help me get past this. If she was still here she wouldn't me sad and depressed and I'm sure your cousin wouldn't want you to be dragged on by his death. You just have to live and learn to get past it like I did. We all have to live through unfortunate events in our lives and some of us are lucky enough to be still be able to live normally even though we suffered through all those misfortunes.
(Rating: 5) That was really good..thanks so much. And i`m sorry about your friend.
