I don't judge. I've seen a lot, and the things I haven't, I'm always open to listening to. I want to make a difference.

My cousin's grandpa just died. :(

I'm really close to my cousin, but I don't really know what to do or say to her cause I've never really had someone close to me die.

I was wondering what I should do?

I don't want to seem like a heartless person and I don't want to say the wrong thing and make her feel bad...

All advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Aw, I'm really sorry about what happened, and I'm glad you'd like to reach out to someone like this. I'm sure your cousin will appreciate anything you have to say at this point; It's definitely the thought that counts!

While "He's in a better place" is so cliche, it usually helps to hear. Just try to talk about the good memories your cousin had with her grandfather. This will help on reminiscing, rather than focusing on the actual death. Ask her what she'll remember about him. Little things like what he smelled like, and funny things he said. Maybe it'll make her cry, but sometimes it's good to let it out, and it's one of the best things you can do in a situation like this (just a warning for you).

Just make sure she knows that she can come to you if she needs to talk about absolutely anything. Let her know, flat out that you're there for her. The fact that you're concerned will definitely show!

XOXO
KAT.
