    @gillian72 You and your family are doing the best you can in these circumstances. The important thing is that your family are supporting each other and while you may be isolated from him, he knows he is loved by all his family and daughter.

    The falling out will make things seem worse, but why not make some phonecalls and tell people you wish to forget what went on and start afresh.

    If they don't respond, well at least you tried.
    These times are so sad and there`s so much time to think about it.
    Keep safe.

    I am sorry to hear that, however with what pollyanna said maybe you consider trying to reconnect, you may have fallen out with your family but you all share your love for him it may be possible to move on.

    Hi @gillian72. I'm sorry you're in such an awful situation.
    I think what pollyanna1052 has suggested is a really good idea. It's never too late to reach out.

    So sorry to read about your cousin Gillian . Trying to reconnect with you family would be hard ....but I think they would appreciate you getting in touch to tell them how sad and how sorry you are to hear about your cousin . God bless ?

    Hi @gillian72 -  the fact he was lucid when he had his tube out gives you some hope. It sounds like they are giving him good attention and I am sure they will do their best for him. What are you doing to try and distract yourself? I know being stuck at home right now makes it hard to mentally get away from thinking about the sad things. What do you do to give yourself a break?
