Upcoming funeral and I’m struggling

Hi. My mum’s funeral is this Friday and I feel like impending doom. I’ve never lost anyone close to me and only been to a few funerals so I don’t know how to feel… as I’m feeling all the emotions right now. I have to drive 270 miles to get there the day before which I’m normally ok with but I’m lost in my own thoughts at the moment. Can anyone offer any advice?

Hello @Lynsey44,

I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. It’s completely understandable your emotions are all over the place right now. I’m sure someone will be along to share their advice. In the meantime, I’ve done a search for topics in this category which talk about coping with the funeral for you. You may find some good advice and support in these threads, too.

We’ll be thinking of you on Friday :blue_heart:

Take care and keep reaching out,
Seaneen

Hi @Lynsey44
I’m sorry to hear of your Mum’s passing.
I can only share my own experience that the thought and planning of the funeral is much worse than the actual event. People who love your Mum will be there, it really is a celebration of her life. It will be incredibly heartbreaking and emotional, but you will.get through it. You find a strength from nowhere (someone on here said it comes from within you) and they’re right. Our own strength and coping will kick in.
I.hope.it goes well, please let us know you’re okay afterwards. We’re all here for you.
