My favorite cuzzin just died in august and i want to kno how can i cope with her death even while the ppl who ?!

i am so sorry for you loss. unfortunatly there is not anything you can do to make it go away right now. i wish there was. what can help is let yourself feel what it needs to. if you want to cry then do so. if you want to laugh and remember the good times do it. as long as you are not hurting yourself just let the feelings flow. dont hold back. you will go through the grieving process and in time it gets easier. if you feel you need to see someone do so. if you hold back it just prolongs the grieving time. i am sorry again. this pain you are feeling will ease up i promise. bless you Health Question & Answer

Let me join with the others, here, in offering you condolences on your loss. Go to http://www.mind.org.uk/ and type "grief" in the taskbar, and enter. Call: The Grief Recovery Institute (U.S.A.) 1-800-445-4808, or Hospice (phone book). Email jo@samaritans.org Chatrooms and forums: www.chatmag.com/topics/health/grief.html and http://talkingminds.15.forumer.com/ and http://messageboards.ivillage.com/ Other websites: www.griefnet.org/ and http://www.helpguide.org/ (coping, supporting others, loss of relationship, or pet) and www.mental-health-abc.com/ and www.boblivingstone.com/.?q=node30 and www.crusebereavementcare.org.uk/ Understand that there are often several stages of grief.

The stages are:

Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
Anger: "Why ME.? It's not fair.?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my son graduate."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why bother with anything.?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK."
