How do you deal with sudden death annoucements?

I got a call this morning saying that my cousin had passed away...it was 7am and I just got up from bed, I thought I was dreaming...apparently not.

So how do you deal with sudden death news of relatives? I used to have my parents to get the news directly, and I'll be the one at the side to receive the news later...you know, having being prepared that it's some bad news; since the facial expression of your parents change as they speak on the phone. And it's me breaking the bad news along to other relatives. This is the first..and frankly, I still don't know how to feel right now. Sigh...


Hmm..what was planned to be a good relaxing weekend has turned gloomy suddenly....
