It's my uncle and it's about 5 mins from where I live. What really sucks is he hasnt been the same since the death of his oldest son (my age) about 2 years ago. AND he has another son who is falling in the same footsteps as the older son. Its sad to see how some of my cousins choices led to the demise of the entire family. God be with my aunt and younger cousin.

 

That is sad. Sorry your family is experiencing such difficulty.

 

Sad story. Something so peaceful such as an evening walk turn so tragic

 

Sorry to hear that man. Hope everything gets better.

 

Man, that's tough. Sorry to hear about your family's tough times.

 

I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers are out to you.

 

I'm sorry for the loss you have to face. I also know how a parent losing a Child can affect them. My older half Brother died of Cancer about ten years ago. It is still is on my Mother's mind daily, and it bothers her very much, plus my Father is not very understanding of why it hurts her so much. A loss like that put stress on the whole Family. Good luck! Give the survivers all the support you can.

 

Sorry to hear the sad news. I just took a walk earlier this evening. I dress a little light for the temp because I'll warm up as I walk. I know I would be in trouble if I were ever to fall.

 

How truly sad. My prayers are with your family.

 

Sorry to hear the sad news.
Thoughts and prayers sent.

 

I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.

I've made several attempts to spend time with my younger cousin since the death of his brother which have been met with resistence. He always gets angry like I'm ruining his life by keeping him from drinking, smoking pot, and any other drug he does. Anyway, maybe I'll try again.

Anybody else ever have a similar situation? We were all close growing up (my two cousins and me) so as we grew older, we grew further apart. After his brother died, I tried daily to spend tome with him and mourn (it was rough for me too bring the first friend I had to pass), that turned into a weekly attempt which turned into a monthly attempt and so on.

So for anyone whose been in similar situation, what's my next move to help my cousin??

 

To help someone, they must be receptive to the help offered. Obviously, he is not. Any further attempt on your part will only drive the wedge deeper. I would let him know that you will be there for him if he ever needs to turn to someone, but that you are not going to try to push yourself on him. Maybe someday, he will wake up and realize he needs your help.

 

Sorry to hear that bud, very sad.
