I lost my brother on the 20 October. He died less than 3 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. He was only 46. I’m absolutely devastated. The funeral is tomorrow (well actually today now) and I’m dreading it. I don’t know how I’m going to get through it.

Maisey, I am so sorry that your brother died. I know you are heartbroken. It is such a horrible loss.
You will get through the funeral. You will cry, you will smile, you will even laugh and you won’t remember most of it. Dress up in your best, do your hair and nails, put on some make-up and select jewelry. Just because we are broken doesn’t mean it has to show.
I am so sorry that you are suffering and I hope you make it through tomorrow in a way to honor your brother.
Much love.

Thank you for your kind words. I got through it and it was better than I had imagined. There were over 200 people there so it was overwhelming but also comforting too. We had some funny moments. At the grave there was only 12 family and a couple of close friends. We wanted that to be small. My brother was a target shooter for Wales and was training for the para- olympics. Shooting was a big part of his life. One of his friends brought a bag of empty cartridges so we all threw a handful in along with the soil! I think he would find that funny!
I’m feeling quite emotional now it’s over but also relieved. I intend to go to the grave in a couple of days so I can be alone and say goodbye without anyone else there.
