Last week my cousin past away and I’ve mostly been trying to bury myself in work. My aunt took my family in when we were homeless, and my cousin is only a month away from me in age, so it always felt like when we were together that we were siblings.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a shame you couldn't get together at Christmas. I hope you have lots of good memories of time spent with your cousin/sibling.
I am so sorry for your loss. I also had a special cousin, and I truly understand. Please know they are always with us. Our souls are intertwined forever, and our love for each other is eternal. 💖🙏✨️
My condolences. And I understand the feeling. I did the same thing when my little sister passed away four years ago. It offered temporary distraction and relief from the pain and anger.
Sometimes I just got to sit down alone and cry it out, allow yourself to feel something and your body will really storms for you to deal with it. We've been processing loss for millions of years, make time to analyze the memories that were created because ultimately they endure in those left behind.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are entitled to grieve in your own way, whatever that looks like and however long it takes. You'll smile again, I promise.
In the meantime, I'm sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
My grandmother told me that unbeknownst to me this Christmas my cousin was excited to see me because it’d been a couple of years since we last hung out. It didn’t end up happening.
We had the viewing this evening and a lot of emotions I had been trying to process finally came out. Anyway, make sure you take the time. Even at my age, sometimes there aren’t other days.
I know how you feel. I'm so sorry for your loss. My cousin died two weeks ago. I went to the viewing too and it broke me. I'm glad I went through. I just wish I spent more time with her. I still can't really believe there won't be other days
Unfortunately the death of a loved one crystalises what we know to be true but don’t find as much time for as we should, e.g. prioritising spending time with loved ones. Grief is a difficult process. I hope you find peace & solace in reflecting on your bond with your cousin. Hugs from NZ.
