I don't really know you, but I can truly relate and you have my deepest sympathy. I lost my sister a little more than six months ago. The thought of a young person dying sickens me.

thank you again, everyone.. you guys have helped me keep a head on my shoulders today and I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I still don't know much, and I'll be waiting on a call from my grandmother tonight with an update.

You know what - I hope someone who has diabetes reads the beginning thread and takes it to heart and starts taking better care of themselves. I am not saying that this was the reason why your relative is in this predicament but maybe by reading about a potential consequence of not taking care of their diabetes it will make them take better care of their health...
Again I hope for the best for you ...

I am not saying that this was the reason why your relative is in this predicament but maybe by reading about a potential consequence of not taking care of their diabetes it will make them take better care of their health... Again I hope for the best for you ... Actually, you're exactly right. Cody was diagnosed with Diabetes at 12 years old and his parents were divorced. My Aunt Laura took care of him until she died (She had an abcess in her teeth and it killed her in her sleep) in.. I want to say 2007. This death devistated our family and Cody especially, who was very close to his mom. Almost a year later, Cody went into his first coma. His blood sugar was over 1800 and the doctors were amazed that he was alive then, and didn't think he'd make it through the night. Through a week coma, two heart attacks and a few other problems, he finally pulled out and came back to us. I still don't have the whole story, but what I've been told is that the people taking care of him found him passed out in his room and called 911 - he'd drank some soda and gone into a reaction and nobody noticed. So yes, it is because he didn't take care of himself, but that doesn't make it any easier on me. We grew up together because his mom used to babysit my brother and I. Knowing that he's giving up hope and I can't be there is extremely painful. My father is the same way.. he was diagnosed with Diabetes when he was only a few months old and back in the 60s, it wasn't as common as it is now. I can only urge anyone with this disease that, after both my father and my cousin letting themselves go, to please take care of yourselves.

I'd like to thank you all again for your continued support, and I wish I could say that things are better and I'm here in a better light today, but that's just not the case.. Cody passed away on Tuesday. I'm emotionally lost and shattered.. I'll never see my cousin again. This isn't fair. He was just a kid. RIP Cody.. You'll always hold your place in my heart, and you're very missed by all of us.

I can't even afford to go for his funeral, and that hurts more than anything. All I can do is sit here and cry and that's so hard.

Do you have friends close by that you can be with? -shakes my head- Once again, I'm home alone. It's probably better that way, everyone's been trying to get me to calm down and bottling up my emotions isn't helping any. I'm texting my friend back home and she may be able to attend for me, but it's still not the same.

Sorry to hear that, Miss Daisy. I know it can be tough. I have lost friends and family and have not been able to be there to see them off either. I am sorry that it is hard, but you are in my thoughts and I am here if you want to talk. You can PM me too.

Wow, I'm really, really sorry to hear about your cousin. He's the same age I am.. I can't imagine what it'd be like to die at such a young age. >< I wish you and your family my most sincere condolences. *hugs*

thank you Derek, minime.. your comments and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
I spent some time writing in my blog about Cody while listening to "One Moment More" by Mindy Smith and I'll never look at that song the same way again, or be able to listen to it without crying.
I spent about three hours on the phone with some family members and my best friend and have got alot of crying out of the way. My best friend back home is going to attend his service tomorrow in my absence, so it's comforting knowing that someone's there for me even when I can't be.
Cody's in a better place now.. and he's finally back with his mom. There was quite a bit to this story that I didn't get a chance to go into detail about, but Cody is where he wanted to be and he's no longer in pain. I miss him terribly, and though my eyes spill my emotional pain, it has yet to ease it.
thank you all again for your continued support. You guys are really a great group of people.
