death - hurts

I am so sorry for your loss! Just remember you aren't alone, you have her family, and other people who have had someone close to them pass on. And remember that now she is in Heaven, and she isn't sick, she is perfect. Of course, it is always hard on the family. My father (who I wasn't living with) recently passed away. It is hard to believe that you will ever get better, but you will. Mabye some counseling would help?

Hi Sharon, I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. Losing someone you love has got to be one of the hardest things we go thru in this life. Keep remembering her laughter, her smile and her jokes. I'm sure that is the way she would want you to remember her. Also, remember that she is no longer in any pain. She is finally free! God has chosen to take her from the cancer. God will take care of her children. Just pray for them (I know you are) and let them know you are there for them. It doesn't seem fair that her life was cut so short, but none of us knows when we may be called Home. We will understand it when we get to Heaven. I will remember you and her family in my prayers. You are not alone. God is with you and I believe your cousin's spirit is with you as well. God bless you! Spring

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your online friends are here for you, as much as we can be. Sometimes, the only comfort that we have is that our loved ones are no longer suffering and are in the arms of God. Think on that and pull strength.

Hi Sharon! I am really sorry to hear about your loss. It is quite natural to feel 'lost' or 'depressed' in such a situation. But you can't stop living because of that and life has to go on. The earlier you realise that and compromise with the situation it would be better for you. I know it more easier 'said' than 'done' but that is the reality. Take care of yourself well otherwise you would end up having your daughter & friends worried about you.

i am so sorry for your loss,this is a very rough time for you to go through,but you will get by with the love and support of your family,friends and god.your cousin is looking down at you and smiling over you,she wants you to be happy and help her family get through this all together.so sorry my friend.prayers be with you and the whole family.pattie

I jsut want to let you know that you are not alone in your feelings. I lost my highschool friend of 24 years last month. He passed from cancer/HIV and its hard.

Sharon I feel for you, I am so sorry to hear you have lost a part of you. I know it is hard to hear but you said it in your discussion...now is the time to rejoice. You need to call loved ones if possible, speak to your pastor, call her children and share memories of your cousin. You will be able to keep her alive and here with you in your heart by doing this; while she is watching over all of you from above. Go ahead and cry hon, the tears are cleanseing and not just sorrowful but joyful also. You have another angel my dear, rejoice in that. Grab your Bible, say some prayers, pull out those photos and feel the joy of having known her. It is hard to beleive now but the days do get easier to go through. I know this from losing a grandmother and grandfather a year apart and a mother-in-law who was my best friend and father-in-law 6 months apart. It is hard, but God will console you if you let him. He will send others to help you through this trying time. Blessed Be!
