I lost my cousin, Kieron, in August 2015. He was 21 years old and was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Lukemia in December 2014. He was my best friend and my inspiration. After the many months of chemo and medicine he had a bone marrow transplant that had a 100% match, meaning he had a high chance of survival. But unfortunately this did mean anything. Being only 13 years old, nearly 14, and will be staring my GCSEs in September, i am going under a major amount of stress. I have no idea how to cope with his death and hope someone can help. I constantly feel depressed, anxious and my self esteem has fallen majorly. I have started counselling but feel as if it doesn't help much. I feel if i talk to someone going through the same emotions as me it will help me understand how to cope with the pain i am going through.
Thank you.
Hi Emily,
Welcome to Grief Hope Network and thank you for sharing your story and your feelings. I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. Feel free to share however you're feeling; we all get it. It was a slow process for me after my husband died also. You have made a BIG first step in reaching out to others who know how you feel. Grief always waits, so it's never too late to start the process of dealing and healing.
All members here have empathy for what you are going through. I'm recovering from the loss of my mother in February. My husband passed away in 2004 and I started this site to help others a few years ago. Please reach out to other members through the Network, Member Blogs and Forum Chats. The chat room tends to have more people in it at night. The Home Page has some good Blog Posts too. I pray the resources here provide Help for Today & Hope for Tomorrow. You take good care of yourself. BIG hug!
God bless,
Judy
