So this afternoon one of BF's relatives fbook messaged him that a relative had passed away. I texted his sister and she called the relative to see what was going on. Backstory is bf is not close with most of his family but he is semi close to a cousin whose wedding we went to in August. It turns out it was this cousins wife that had died. She was 24. From what we know so far she had a tonsillectomy a few days ago, came home, threw up and that causes her to bleed out. I feel like there's details we are missing because that doesn't all totally make sense to me. I'm just currently at a loss and feel like I'm not even really processing it yet, plus bf isn't even home from work so we haven't talked yet. I just feel so bad for his cousin.
Re: I'm at a loss
That actually explains a lot, thank you. Just so scary to think of how something so " simple" can go so wrong
This exactly. If you don't choose something to focus on that's concrete and can be done something about, you can't block out the thoughts of "could I have....?" And those will eat you alive.
If you're close enough to make this feasible, offering to help him get the bathroom pulled back together would be my route. He probably wants to get it done yesterday, but it's probably incredibly hard for him to do it.
