I (26M) just found out that my ex girlfriend (24F) who I was in a relationship with for 6 years passed away

We were together for 6 years but broke up about a year ago because we were growing apart and I couldn’t see us getting married. She wanted and I guess still wants to live in our home country and my life is in another country. We parted amicably but I haven’t heard from her for a long time.<br><br>Today I received a message from her cousin asking me if I would come to her funeral. I was so confused and asked what she meant. I was so confused and she told me she had passed away. She had a seizure sometime ago and never woke up. She was only 24. I’m absolutely distraught. I don’t even know what to think. I honestly still loved her and I was going to contact her next year to see how she was doing. I don’t know if I can handle this. I’m going to the funeral but I need some advice on how to handle it.<br><br>Update: I’m going to the funeral. I’m still heartbroken but I understand she’s at peace. I’m going to stay with her grandmother and will hopefully be able to meet up with her cousin who messaged me. I was in such shock I am able to handle it better now. Thank you for the kind words
