Death in the Family, Part 2

This morning, we learned my cousin Josh died from a cerebral hemorrhage. By all appearances, he died quietly in his sleep, no obvious trauma or suffering. In the greater scheme of life, I suppose it would be nice if all of us could pass away so peacefully, but at only 22, his life had hardly even started. At such a young adult age, he was only just starting to learn of the possibilities of life and that potential is now gone.

Later this afternoon, we learned the viewings & visitation will be on Thursday & Friday of the upcoming week. I can't stay in the area that long: I must be back in DC for Thursday evening. Still, I'll have some time in the next few days to spend with Josh's mother (my aunt) and our mutual grandmother and make myself available where & if needed.

I am a little late in reading LJ, so I am just now hearing of your loss.

My condolences to you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss ... to lose someone so young ....
