what to do?

[barb08]

My friends funeral is tonight I really don't want to go. But I know I should. What do I do?

That all depends on in the long term I think on how you will feel if you go or don't. Maybe think on it for a bit. I know how sad they are but it is life & maybe the family needs to see you now. Best of luck for you. Love, peace, light, joy & hugs for you!

You should go, so many reasons to go and very few not to. Don't give yourself something to feel guilty about later. I don't think you'll regret going.

barb08, I always went through the same feelings whether it was a friend or family member. It's not because I was afraid of death but was afraid of my anxiety. I don't

know how many wakes that I went in the afternoon so that I could pay my respects.

I'd sign my name on the registry, give my condolences and then sit in the back row of

seats for a little while. I never made it to the funeral or the luncheon after that. No one ever said anything but rather understood that was about all I could handle at that time.

Do what you feel comfortable with. If you go to the funeral but can't make the gathering

after that, so be it. Keep your friend in your thoughts and heart and wish that she rests

in peace.

I am sorry for your loss barb. xx

It's not always about just saying goodbye to the loved one, or friend...it's about supporting the grieving survivors left behind. However, these things can cause serious triggers with people who are trying to work through stress and depression issues...if you absolutely cannot attend, there are always cards, flowers, donations in honor of the deceased, letters or phone calls...your instincts will help you make the right choice...peace and relief to you!
