Grief ( Archived) (23)

My thoughts are with you at this terrible time. There's no logic to suicide. 2 of my friends took their own life and i know a few more people who did too. Its difficult because we can't understand the thought process of someone who is capable of something like this. It just doesn't make sense. Its my experience that they have battled with insecurity and low self esteem for so long (often without anyone knowing) that it becomes too much to live with and ending their life seems the only way out. I can only hope you don't blame yourself in any way for this tragic loss to your family. I'm sure your cousin knew how much you loved her. She will be looking down on you and will know through seeing your grief. I send you love and compassion x

All grief is unique, but I think suicide brings its own questions and difficulties. As has been said already, I think you're at the early shock stage - anger, tears and good memories will come in waves for some time to come.

I'm sad you're having to go through this, but eventually, you will come to terms with it. Allow yourself as much time as you need to grieve.
