i always find it kind of awkward when someone i don't know or don't know very well gets sick or dies. i don't know how to comfort the people that i DO know who knew them, and i don't know what to say about them. so it's just always one of those uncomfortable awkward situations for me.
but i wouldn't beat yourself up for not being close to everyone in your family. things happen the way they do for a reason, i think. maybe it was a wake up call for the people around your father's cousin to sit up and take more notice of their loved ones and especially the ones who needed help. the things that happen happen for a reason, whether it's good or bad. but it always teaches us something if we're quiet enough to listen for the lesson. it's what we do with what we learn that matters the most. and if next time the people close to him see another family member or friend in need of help, hopefully they'll act on it because they'll know the reality of suicide and not be lulled into a false sense of comfort thinking that it wouldn't happen to anybody they know. you know what i mean?
