Re: I don't know how to handle the death of my cousin.
I am so sorry for your loss.
In times like these there are no words. Just be there for each other. Don't be afraid to allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. It will take time, but the pain will get easier to handle.
Re: I don't know how to handle the death of my cousin.
I am so sorry for your loss. My brother died suddenly 20 months ago at age 25. It is very difficult to deal with the sudden loss of a young family member. The best advice I can give is to be there for your family. There is nothing you can say that is going to make it better. I found a good book that may help in the coming weeks/months: I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye: Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Sudden Death of a Loved One by Brook Noel & Pamela Blair.
Re: I don't know how to handle the death of my cousin.
I'm so so sorry for your loss. The fact that it was without warning makes it even more tragic. I can't imagine the pain you and your family is feeling right now. I wish you all lots of prayers.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is going to take time to process such a sudden and tragic death. Give yourself time to mourn. Wishing you and your family a lot of strength.
Re: I don't know how to handle the death of my cousin.
I am so sorry for your loss...I lost my cousin last year, he died in a motorcycle accident...he was one of a kind and just made everyone laugh, he had his ups and downs in life and was never stable, but he was taken away from us way too soon.
My Aunt was soooo devastated...i'll never forget when the casket was going down the church aisle her trembling hands ran along side the casket, it broke my heart.
This was the most tragic death in my family and only time could let us heal. Make sure your there for Aunt and cousins...life is way too short.
Re: I don't know how to handle the death of my cousin.
I am so so sorry. That is so terrible.
I recently had to watch my friend grieve the loss of her mother. She had cancer, but died unexpectedly and my friend found her. That was 12/26 and I still think about it all the time. I just try to be there for her with whatever she may need. There is nothing else I can do.
eta - maybe trying to find some bereavement support groups for you and your family would help.
