Is this a phase or something? Is it normal?

Question

I miss my cousin that lives in Germany. He can't come back for two years. I can't go there next year because I am going to Washington D.c. trip with my mom (school trip). Everyday now since he's left i keep thinking of little conversations we'd have if he were here. I just imagine he was there...and it's hard to stop. He left on July fifteenth. So, is this kinda a phase of grief or whatever?

Answer 1

PHASE

Answer 2

It is normal to miss someone that is gone. Yes, they were fun and good times were had, but that is part of life and destiny. Everyone has a certain chore in life to perform. For you is doing your thing, and for your cousin its having his own experiences. Once you meet again youll be able to share all of that together. He is your cousin and he is family and you will know him all your life. Be happy that youll have this person to share with when you are old. In the meantime, keep in touch as much as you can.

Answer 3

As time goes by, it gets a lot easier to not miss the person as much who is away. Just give yourself a few weeks or a couple months, it gets easier. Also, do you have email, instant messenger or webcam you two can exchange? that can sometimes help.  

Answer 4

Its kind of a grief, but I must say, it sounds like you are in love with him....Is that why you are finding it so hard?

Can't you text, or email?

I think you should save up your money and go over there at the nearest possible chance and tell him how you really feel....

Good luck!
