Apologies for being so down.i lost my sister a few weeks ago and after finalising things for the funeral. It’s all hit me today and trying to keep upbeat for my mum.
Funeral is coming up and getting upset after hearing the exit music.
It’s all getting to me now.
Is there anything I can do?
I’ve played it a few times to try to de sensitise but not working

Honey, don’t even try that. Every time you hear that music for the rest of your life you will likely bawl like a baby. It is okay to cry, out loud, at a funeral. You have been wounded and it hurts. Cry.
So very sorry that your sister died, you must be a wreck. It is just horrible and so unfair.
Love.
Oh right I didn’t think of that.
Thank you very much for your kind words and your advice which I’ll take.
