Shit man, I'm sorry to hear that. You have my condolences.
The best advice I can offer is to let it out. I've been there before and I kept that shit bottled up when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry. Everyone mourns differently, but you gotta find some outlet for it, or the grief just eats away at you.
Also, try to think of good/funny moments you had with your cousin and share them with family. Laughing and reminiscing can go a long way toward healing the wound.
Thanks man I just can't stop crying for the life of me
Try listening to some feel-good music, I bet a couple of these songs will hopefully cheer you up.
Please, sit back and enjoy earful bliss.

Hey, no problem.
lol thanks man
Sorry to hear. I hope things don't get too hectic for you.
Do you have a good support network?
Understand that you're going to feel shitty for a good long while. And that's okay.
There's no reason to force yourself into "dealing" with something like this until you feel ready to deal with it. Give yourself some time to be angry. To be sad. To be at a loss as to what to do.
It's normal. It's healthy. It'll pass. In the meantime, just do what you can to take care of yourself and any of your loved ones who are also dealing with this tragedy. Good luck to ya. And I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorta I've only really briefly spoke with my family about it and wanna talk to them more but I don't wanna bother them.
Don't think about it like that. I wouldn't imagine You would be bothering them. Quite the contrary; I imagine it would easily be mutually beneficial for you all to help each other. Going back to what another user said, you don't want to bottle this up. However, DomeWing333 is probably right in thinking you should hold off until the right time.
Besides family, close friends can also help. If all else falls through, I imagine you could try online support groups.
Last time somebody I was close to died, I just kept every emotion locked up. That was many years ago, even to this day I don't let out emotions much. Basically, I let it go rather fast. I don't know how close they were to you, but maybe you can try doing other things to keep your mind off of it, I really have no advice, just trying to be helpful some.
Sorry for your loss. I'm guessing it was quite unexpected. There is no one good answer, I would suggest you do talk about it with someone. Venting is good & there are people who can be helpful. And try to do things that you enjoy or new things that interest you. Sometimes it's great to immerse yourself in things you enjoy.
If you would like to talk send me a Private Convo, other than this i mean i don't really know what to tell you... Bad things happened to me as well, my childhood + early adult life sucked and now i am emotionally detached from pretty much everyone and everything.
