when goodbyes are forever...

As I woke up this morning, I heard a terrible news.. My cousin's boyfriend just died. It came as a shock to all of us, he was only 18 years old. =( I suddenly thought of how short life is.. And I wondered how one should deal with such a tragedy. When I broke up with my ex of 4 years, my whole world just stopped. I didn't know what to do, I was staring into space the whole time, until I found the will to get over it and move on. But death has so much finality to it. And it comes so unexpectedly. Breaking up is easier because you know you've found a good reason to end the relationship, but death is just so cruel. It takes away someone you love so dearly and who loves you back just as much and you can't even do nothing to stop it from happening... It pains me to even think about it. I want so much to give my cousin some comfort, but I know that she's inconsolable right now. I just wish there is some way to ease her pain. Is there?

Thanks. =( As far as I know his platelets had been goin' down for the past week, and he had a stroke last night. I guess it was H-fever. He was taken to the surgery room, but he never woke up. My cousin wasn't able to witness all this because she goes to school in another country.. I guess she's better off not seeing him in this state so she can just hold on to good memories. I feel so bad, I tried to talk to her but I was utterly at a loss for words. All I managed to say was I'm so sorry and let's keep on praying... =( thanks again and God Bless you too..
