In 2024, I lost my cousin unexpectedly. We have a small family, so it was a small, intimate funeral service. Nine days later, my husband lost his uncle, and fifthteen days after we laid my cousin to rest, we attended his uncle’s funeral. His family is huge, and they spent a whole week leading up to the funeral celebrating his life.
To this day, I feel like I had to set my grief aside so I could be present, supportive, and strong for my husband and his family. It was so hard to go through and also very so stressful.
Is it wrong that I felt some kind of resentment because I didn’t get to properly process and grieve the loss of my cousin? Am I crazy? Has anyone been through a situation like this before?
Would love to hear your opinions and advice. Thank you.
