Story My cousin died on my birthday yesterday

[maakies]

He's in another country, but after years of battling Type 1 Diabetes coupled with severe depression, he finally found peace at 34. He had a hemorrhagic stroke and fell into a coma. He had a DNR order at such a young age. It was strange to hear. I wasn't too close with him, but we partied whenever I was in town. My other cousin who was talking about his frequent complications with Type 1 Diabetes told me he was too depressed to take care of himself, and sort of gave up a few years ago. He has two strokes by 33. They're in a place considered the developing world.

My mom's side has a lot of kids with a severe depression. It's never talked about. I mean my brother and I had separate incidents of trying to CTB from our teenage years to early 20s.

I'm in a similar state of not taking any care of myself right now, but I don't have diabetes. Interesting to think about, though I have no one to speak to about it.

Sort of jealous of his ability to commit a slow suicide like that. Selfish to say if anything.

My sincere condolences. I really care about some of my cousins and would be devastated if anything happened to them.

Rest in peace. At least now he is free from all pain and suffering. In a life like this, death and loss are inevitable. I wish you the best.
