My cousin died suddenly at just 23 in June 2020. I have no siblings and she was the closest thing I've had to a sister. Her and her brother are my only cousins, very small family.
Her dad and my mum had fallen out shortly before her death, meaning with COVID making funerals small gatherings - I was not invited. I watched it via a video link. I've never had the cause of her death explained to me but I understand it was some kind of blood clot in her brain.
I still cry and sob uncontrollably missing her all the time. I'm pregnant and it's been such a difficult pregnancy which I think has made it even worse. I just long to talk to her, get her advice, I just miss her so much it hurts.
Is this normal? Will I ever feel better?
