I dont know how to express it. The husband of my cousin died yesterday night. She was close to me and I am not able to think how would I console her. Though he was old 65 years and had some kidney issues. . He was ill from many months but his death has made me shattered inside. It's a very tough situation to face. How do you face it?

@sjvg1976 Crying is probably good for her. Better than bottling up her grief. All you can do is be there for her.

I am sorry about your cousin's husband. I guess really all you can do is speak from your heart, give her a hug and ask if there is anything you can do. Very sorry for your loss.

She was broken as her kids don't live with her. Now the son has shifted with her.

I'm so sorry how this happened. I know from my own husband dying that time will take away the worst pain. Then days will get easier and easier.

Yes, it's always painful to lose someone you're close to.

it's tough. Let her express her feelings. Cry out loud if she wants to. See if she needs any specific help.

It's hard to find the correct words. Many times a good bear hug is all it takes. You will find the words I'm sure but being with her in her time is need might be just what she needs.

It seems she doesn't need anyone except her brothers and kids. That's what I judged from her behavior.

It's tough. I think just let her e for some days. Because at this moment, consolations won't do her good.
