Me too, Tobi.. 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. Why don't you hold your own special ritual for him at home on the day of his funeral? It'll give you a chance to say 'goodbye' and offer some closure.
You could create a little altar by placing his picture, some flowers and a lighted candle on a table top, or shelf. Maybe you'd like to write him a poem, or letter telling him how much he meant to you, and read it to him. You can then either keep the letter in a safe place, or let it burn in the flame of the candle [disposing of it safely]. It's also a nice idea to have some of his favourite music playing softly in the background while you do this
You don't have to attend a funeral in order to say goodbye to someone you love
I wrote a poem for my best friend after she passed away a few weeks ago, it helped me tremendously and gave me closure.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, it's a terrible, terrible time (((Miss Daisy))).

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'm so sorry, Miss Daisy. =( -hugs- So young, too. I really am sorry. May he rest in peace.

-hugs Jackaroo- Thank you, Goth.. that's actually a really good idea. I've been so distressed today that I hadn't even thought of that. I have some pictures in totes in the garage from when we were kids.. I'll have to find them tonight while I'm out there. It will help bring some closure to this whole situation.

*Edit* Even the physical act of organising it will make you feel more positive and bring you some comfort.

One of my members recently lost a family member. She was so upset I suggested we start a thread for her aunt on my board. We did and members left messages. My member loves rainbows, as they mean new life to her. We gave her many rainbows. I am sorry you lost your cousin. Unfortunately he was to young to know how to take care of his diabetes, and if the ones taking care of him do not know much about it, it is hard to understand. I am shocked he made it through the 1800 level, so to me that was his 2nd chance. It is rare that he made it through hat ok. I have been a diabetic since I was 19. Diabetes is not cheap and many of the problems from it come from not having the money, or maybe for some the knowledge, to take care of it properly. I have been sitting for over a year with bones in my feet disabled due to the lack of better care in my 20's and 30's. My beliefs says Cody is well now. You will always miss him, but there is no need to forget him. Don't bottle up your feelings. That might help others, but it won't help you.

You'll always hold your place in my heart, and you're very missed by all of us. I'm going to flat out saying I'm borrowing this from Dead Like Me, and I feel it has great truth to it. It may or may not make it easier for you, but it does for me when dealing with this. It's not fair, and it's cruel, really. He had his whole life ahead of him, so much love, pain, and beauty. That's sad for everyone except him. He won't give a rats butt, he'll be off doing something different.

I'm really sorry to hear that Miss Daisy. I know that there isn't much that you can say to make a person feel better, but I hope it makes you feel better to let you know that I totally feel for you right now.

Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and I just know that you're not alone; I'm only a PM away. I myself have had Type I diabetes since I was eight years old, so if you need any questions answered about it, please don't hesitate to PM me and I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.
