Funerals

[lonelymelissa]

It is my mums funeral tomorrow. I am an only child and my dad passed away many years ago.Having lived to a good age most of her friends and family have already passed away, and those that have not are too old to travel. Other people have made excuses not to come, and every one of them are for genuine reasons, but I am just so (unjustifibly) angry that for all the wonderful things my mum did, and how kind and generous and helpful she was, there are going to be so few people at her funeral. I can't seem to get over being angry and one more "I'll be thinking of you" message and I'll scream. It's just not fair. I feel so awful. She deserves more.

I'm sorry op:-( I hope it goes as well as it can tomorrow. Look after yourself x

I'm sorry for your loss OP

I am so sorry for your loss. It must be awful that you don't think there will be enough people there to celebrate her life but she will be remembered and that is important. I am sorry that this is hurting you so much.

You being there was probably her biggest wish. All the good things she did and kindness she gave will never be lost. The funeral lasts a few hours but the love and good regard you have for her will be with you always. I'm hopefully a long way off death but when it comes I hope my kids have as high opinion of me as you do of your lovely Mum.

I’m so sorry OP. I lost my Mum 15 years ago. It doesn’t matter how few people are there. You knew how wonderful she was and that would mean far more to her. I hope it goes as well as it can.

This is my first post. Why don't you tell us about your mum so we can all get an idea of how wonderful she was then you can get through tomorrow knowing we are all taking a little bit of her with us for the day?
