Brothers funeral today - any advice to help get through it? I can't breathe!

[sunnysunnyshine]

know I've just gotta get through today but at the moment I can barely function. Does anybody have any advice to help me please?

No advice, but just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss. I think all I can offer is to say go easy on yourself.

So sorry to hear of your loss.

For me it involved retreating in to myself. Once the actual funeral was over I then felt able to talk to people back at the house. Everyone understood. I didn't need to announce this was my approach. Body language can be very effective as can just not engaging in eye contact.

Thank you both. Feeling bit calmer. Hopefully will just go into autopilot...

Breath from your stomach and concentrate on inhaling and exhaling slowly and for an equal amount of time. But most of all don't try too hard to hold on to yourself and let the tears flow if they come. I'm very sorry for your loss.
