To pull out of being godmother with a days notice ?

I know IABU really but feel in terrible situation.

My dad has just died and my mams in hospital an hour away - I've had a terrible few weeks and my existing anxiety and depression has worsened.

I'm due to be godmother in the morning to a friends daughter, lovely girl but I barely see her or her daughter (twice since she was born 8 months ago) and I just have this huge feeling if dread of having to stand up and be godmother in a church full of people I don't know - the apathy in me is also making me dread even thinking about what wear etc

Would I be a terrible person if I pulled out ?

Well done treading! Congratulations on having the courage to do this! Your dad would be so proud of you.

Good luck treading.
Sorry you're going through such a difficult time Flowers.

Oh good, I'm glad you're getting out!

When MIL died, it helped DH to get out and about to distract him and to keep him from feeling overwhelmed.

Thanks Sorry for your loss.
