I just found out that one of my first cousins has severe diabetes and shes going blind I havent talked to her

Question

since my son was born which he just turned 1 in Novemeber I feel so bad but dont know how to call her what to say or what to do ?? We used to be close but just drifted apart over the last 4 to 5 years Ive been thinking about her and I just cant believe it The doctor kept saying nothing showed on her lab results until recently now shes really sick What should I say or do ???

I feel weird just calling her out of the blue

No she hasnt seen my son. I sometimes head out her way to visit my mom one sunday per month with my kids I think I might go see her in the next few weeks she did want to see my son and even sent him a gift and called me when he was born she used to watch my 2 girls when they were smaller I feel sad thinking about her :(

Answer 1

Aww Sweetie, I feel your pain. I recently lost my Mom to diabetes.

You need to RUN over there. You need to PICK that phone UP. Every second you waste, second guessing yourself, is time, you could be visiting with your cousin. She needs her friends and family. God only gives you a very few precious people in your life.

Be a blessing and pick that phone up. It is well worth the effort. Dial the number, when she picks up the phone say: Hey Cousin_____ How the heck are ya? I was just thinking about you and had to call. I know it`s been awhile but sometimes life gets in the way. I sure have missed you. I have so much to share. How is (((spouse, kids, dad, Mom, ???))
Have you hear about old Billy Bob? Well let me tell ya.. Boy it sure is good to hear your voice..

It is like falling off the bike or horse, ya got to get back on.. You must not let the **what if`s** run your life.. Go for it..

Pick up the phone!!! God is with you.. I`m praying for you and her.. Right Now..

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

Nothing weird about that, it doesnt matter just call her, has she seen your new son, if not its time, thats probably a good start. Take it from there you maybe surprised you could be the person she needs to hear from & after all you are family, thats what counts. I know I too have a family member who has gone blind because of diabetes, it was amazing how you can pick up your relationship. Good luck & congrats on your new baby. :-)

Answer 5

You would not be calling out of the blue. You would be calling her because you heard about her problem and still care about her.

People drifting apart happens, even though we do not mean for it to happen. She got busy with her life and you got busy in yours. Marriage, school, boyfriends, children, moving, whatever.

Give her a call - cry, laugh, reminisce, feel guilty, feel relieved, feel loved. Just let the conversation go where it may. She may have wanted to call you in the past and is feeling guilty for not doing it.

Answer 6

I would like to offer a prayer for your cousin and or you. I am sorry for the news you have recieved regarding her health, and for the relationship that you miss with her.
Father, we pray that you will ease the burdens placed on the backs of these children of God. Let them find healing and peace where doctors have no answers. Father as You lay healing and mercy upon them, help them to find each other again for comfort and compassion during this hour of need and sacrifice. Lord we come in the Holy Name of Jesus aas we believe in You for a Miraculous healing, Amen and Amen!

Answer 7

I think you should just go over to her and see her the word's will come, and the feeling's will be there as you need them give her support as she supported you by helping with you're kid's don't shut her out there are a lot of wonderful thing's you shared with her so keep on sharing
Good Luck , and bless Her.

Answer 8

Aw well just get passed the first 30 seconds of ackwardness on the phone. Tell her you want her to see your son :)

Sounds like she's going through tough times, be there for her.

Answer 9

I am so very sorry to hear about your cousin. Please, do not feel guilty as life has a way of just sweeping all of us away! Too many things on our plates!!

You know, if it has been awhile and you feel a bit awkward, I would ask you to pray...given you believe in prayer? I do! If you do too, the best gift of love is to keep her covered in prayer! To allow you two to reconnect, in God's perfect timing! I too, will pray for her as my Dad was a severe diabetic and I know what to ask God for, on behalf of your cousin. Blessings upon all who love her.
