Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia ( CNN ) -- It 's been more than three weeks since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished . The search for the plane continues , even though authorities have said no one aboard survived . Still , some families are hoping against hope as they continue to wait -- stuck in a sort of purgatory . `` At this point , we feel we are still waiting , '' said Mohammad Sahril Shaari . His cousin , Mohammad Razahan Zamani was on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 with his new wife , Norli Akmar Hamid . They were headed to Beijing for their honeymoon . They , along with 237 other people aboard , never arrived . `` If he is no more , we will accept it , '' Mohammad said , at the same time demanding more evidence of what exactly happened . `` We do n't know for sure if ( the plane ) is in the Indian Ocean . We want to see that plane . Even if he 's gone , we want his body -- and this is the wish of all families , '' Mohammad said . ' I just feel so helpless ' The trip to Beijing was to be his cousin 's first out of the country . He 'd saved for a year to make it happen . `` He was so excited to go , he was already on the plane . It was just a matter of reaching his destination . I just feel so helpless , '' Mohammad said . Flight 370 vanished March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing . Authorities are searching the Indian Ocean for the missing plane but have so far found nothing , leaving families with unanswered questions . Some have criticized the response and accused Malaysian officials of giving them confusing , conflicting information . On Monday , dozens of Chinese relatives visited a Kuala Lumpur temple . They chanted , lit candles and meditated . Of the 239 people aboard the flight , 154 were Chinese . `` Chinese are kindhearted people , '' said Jiang Hui , the families ' designated representative . `` But we can clearly distinguish between the good and evil . We will never forgive for covering the truth from us and the criminal who delayed the rescue mission . '' Jiang asked Malaysia to apologize for announcing March 24 that the plane had crashed , despite the lack of any `` direct evidence . '' But Mohammad said that he thought authorities were doing the best they could . `` I am satisfied with the ongoing investigation . There are 26 countries involved in this , and I am so thankful to all of them , especially the government of Malaysia , '' he said . `` I am confident they will find it , but if they do n't , I leave it to Allah , maybe this is his wish , '' Mohammad said . 'This is not the end of things ' He described his cousin as a cheerful guy , someone who liked to joke around and was well-liked by his family . He recalled their childhood together , playing , cycling and having fun . `` We feel his absence . It is a great loss to us , '' Mohammad said . `` We look happy on the outside , but only God knows what is inside me . '' On March 24 , Malaysia Airlines and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said that the plane went into the southern Indian Ocean and that there were no survivors . Nothing related to the flight has been found -- no wreckage , no bodies , nothing . That has deepened pain for some . James Wood , the brother of American passenger Philip Wood , spoke to CNN 's `` Anderson Cooper 360 '' when Malaysian authorities made their announcement that the plane had gone down . He has been unable to say goodbye to his brother without being able to see something that demonstrates without a doubt that Philip died . `` I ca n't , I ca n't ... '' he said . Yet he also said there is comfort in knowing he is not alone . `` We 're all human , and we all hurt . We all struggle through things . So I 'm not the first one to go through something like this , and I 'm certainly not going to be the last one , '' Wood said . `` I do n't like being trite when I say my faith is getting me through this , '' he continued . `` It sounds kind of cliche to say it . It 's a hope that we have that this is not the end of all things . '' Flight attendant 's husband has no answers for children . Mystery of missing flight surfaces pain of 1977 tragedy .

` ` Even if he 's gone , we found his body , '' said Chen 's cousin . The 239 people aboard the jetliner are presumed dead . Flight 370 crashed while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing .
