You absolutely did the right thing. People in that mind frame need people like you to love them and help them through the hard times. Family and friends are very important in succeeding in being truly happy. I feel with friends and family, you can get through just about anything! My advice, let her know everyday that she is loved and keep a close eye on her. You can't be at her at her side every minute but maybe knowing she is loved and cared about she will think again before attempting such an irreversible decision again. Good luck. I hope all is well.

Right on time! lol! Well, i guess she must've realized that it's not worth it by now. I don't think taking one's life would solve anything. Her boyfriend must have broken up with her because it could hinder her dreams and the chance of being together again would be slim and that won't be good so maybe the boyfriend decided to call it quits before it gets worse. I just hope your cousin is ok now and just keep an eye on her all the time.

Hi! I think that you did the right thing, by showing her that you care and supporting her when she is hurting. You need to continiue to show her that you support her decision, and that you care for her. She may need you to listen to her,or she made want you to offer her advice as to what you think or would do in this situation. Maybe you could take her out with some friends, and show her that there is so much to live for, and that you will always be there for her when she needs you. Good luck to you.
