Cousin Died And No One Seem To Care

[LadyKay]

I found out my estranged cousin died. There was no funeral and no obituary that I can find. He just died and was cremated simple as that.  I was not close to him. In fact I hardly knew him. He had a history of being involved in selling drugs and not the kind of person I would want in my life.  But it saddens me to think that he died and no one seems to care. I found his Facebook page and none of his Facebook friends have wrote anything on his page concerning his death. No RIPS, no You Will Be Missed, just nothing. It is has if his life had no meaning. While I can understand being unable to afford a funeral. It seems like some kind of memorial service could had been done. But it seems they just took his body and cremated it and that was that.  Like I said I did not really know him. What kind of person he was and if he was still into drugs or trying to make things right. Still it is sad to think that he was just forgotten.

I find that when things happen like this, there were circumstances about the person's passing that needed investigation causing people to hold off on displays of the grieving process until certain details have been sorted out. 

An incident happened next to us, and instead of people coming together to remember the 16 year old, it almost turned into a violent mob of angry family, friends, and acquaintances from both sides of the situation. There were nearly 150 people on the corner where the incident occurred and spreading down the street into my sister's yard before they had to be removed and escorted away by police. It then took another 2 weeks before anyone did anything in memorandum of the teen's passing due to threats and sabotage from those who knew the accused. 

Not saying this is the same situation with your cousin. It is just that there are many things that make no sense from the outside, but once you scratch the surface, you sometimes get more than you bargained for. You just never truly know.

Also, my condolence for your family's loss.

Its sad :(

My dad died , but we had too little money to have a funeral really or even rent a place to have little sort of "memorial get together" which what I was hoping.  Cremated... got a few random condolences. Done.   Only in my mind and my mom's mind does he seem to really still exist.   Almost seems like some sort of just built in human nature.  "Life is for the Living" and sadly that is taken to the extreme in some cases where it's not even much acknowledged that someone passed.   (Same thing happend with my aunt) :(

 

I hope this isn't dragging you down too much.  *random hug*
