On Easter. It happened during Sun rise service. We were talking after the service when all of the sudden one of our uncles ran up to us and said "your house is on fire". so she went to the car to check it out(she lives about 13 miles or so from church) eventually i got a ride too from my parents. when we got there, there was nothing but flames and destruction, and all i could see was my cousin crying her heart out. I never seen her like that before. I gave her a hug and i swear it was like a death grip on me. Eventually my parents and i left. The reasons of the fire are currently unknown. And yes, i did wait a while to post this.
So, the whole day i've been contemplating what i could do to help her. she's my age and we're really close. I know i should get her clothes and such, but i feel like there isn't much i can do. I'm just a teen. I don't have a job. And i have very little money of my own. I feel like emotional support is the only thing i can do. Their house insurance will cover for the expense of a house( they are wealthy). but their is no replacing the feeling of a home that they had. they lost everything.
So, what do i do? or what CAN i do?

Build one?

Well good for them!

I guess that's what she meant by... *puts on shades* ...a fire sale. YYYEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH
-
Take her out to a movie or something. Get her mind off the topic, because that kind of stress will be the last thing she needs.

>cousin welp, my suggestions have been blown out of the water

Did he save the Xbox Harddrives?

One side of me is crying but the other side [spoiler]Thinks this is a scam.[/spoiler]

Just continue to be there and support her. Offer any help, she'll appreciate anything you do for her.
-
Were they insured?

Edited by MoReCoWbELLx2x1: 4/21/2014 3:00:03 PMWhy not ask if your parents it she can move in with you for a little bit? If that's an option. It would be nice for her to someone her age around that she is comfortable with. Does she go to the same school as you? Does she enjoy the same activities as you do?

Rebuild it. Stronger. Bigger. More fireproof. YOU HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.

Let her know that you'll always be there for her, as a shoulder to cry on when life throws a curveball. That is the best thing that she could ask for.

Did you become the Prince of Bel-Air?

I once lost everything to a house flood. There's really nothing you can do. Make sure the right people are notified so they can provide assistance. You don't really have to provide anything, but maybe some candy or socks would be nice. Be there as a shoulder to cry on, that's one thing I didn't have. Just try not to mention and and keep her focused on other things.
-
Take advantage of her current weak emotional state to get her to blow you.
-
I wish your cousin the best of luck.
-
Just be there emotionally.
-
*scrolls to the bottom* *sees this isn't a "Bel-Air" thread* *feels bad* Well that sucks. I'm terrible at consoling people, so I don't know what to do. Sorry :/
-
Sorry to hear that
-
At least try to comfort her. May not seen as much,but I think it helps a lot.

Edited by Progo: 4/21/2014 2:28:28 AMThey have insurance? Edit: I see they do.
-
-blam!- man that sucks. At least no one got hurt.
-
Even if its not much, anything can help her out.
-
Great to hear you wish to help her, good man! I'd say just chill with her, talk, play, ya know that sorta simple stuff. Sympathize, she may want to talk about it.
