It's my mum's funeral on Thursday. I don't want to go. Together with my siblings we've done everything but I don't want to go.
I love my mum was incredibly close to her all through my life. but I can't bear the thought of saying goodbye. DH says it's up to me but he thinks I'll regret it if I don't go. My eldest is reading a poem so I would like to support her but at the same time my selfish side says stay home.
AIBU to want to skip it? Do you think I'll regret it if I don't go?

Go OP. You’ll regret it forever if you don’t.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your lovely Mum. I think you should go, better to go and be upset than not go and regret it. And also possibly be upset while it is happening if you aren’t there.

Sending hugs
