Hi, not sure if this is the right area to post this but my best friends mum passed away on Thursday and she has asked me to read a letter out at the funeral. This letter is from a relative who lives overseas, and when I got it tonight it is just so emotional. Lots of references to my friends mum but also my friend.
I feel honoured to be asked to read it but I am bricking it re the possibilty that I really might break down while reading it, or choke at certain bits and find it hard to continue.
Anyone have any tips for preparing to read such an emotional letter at what will be a very emotional occasion?
