Something happened to my cousin and now he has bad burns and had to have skin grafts. What are good ways to help him recover emotionally and physically?

I don't know if there is much that you can do to help him physically. Burns and skin grafts require a lot of professional help. Try to research this sometime.
Emotional recovery, however, is an entirely different aspect of helping someone! One thing that I would suggest straight out is to treat him like a 100% normal person. People who have been hurt want to recover quickly and not be treated like children.
Talk to him about things he likes; try to take his mind of the burns/skin grafts. Ask him questions. Make him think about stuff. Tell him stories. Listen to what he has to say.
Whatever you do, do not stare at the burns with a look of disgust. Don't make him feel as if what happened has suddenly made him worse than everyone else.
Best of luck!

I truely wish I knew the answer. Just the fact that you want to ask for help in helping him is a big step. Good luck.

Isolate him .. avoid touching him or having a contact with him ...
avoid being in the same room ...
You may catch the desease ...
you can talk to him on the phone ...
Hope for him a very fast recovery

Just let him know that you care and let him know that you love him or her some times just knowing that it may help.

let your cousin know you are there and love him. see if there is anything he wants you to do, get, or just be there to talk.
