It’s my mother’s funeral tomorrow

[HiSisteritsmeee]

Just that really, I’m so sad

I was holding it together so well today but this evening the food has arrived (for the wake) and it’s knocked me for six

I’m so sorry

I'm sorry. It's so bloody hard. Sending you a hug and a handhold

Sorry for your loss op. It is awful to lose a parent you love.

I lost my dad in January, his funeral was a blur, looking back I can hardly remember a thing about the service, I can just remember me, my mum, my brother, my son & my nephew & niece all touching the coffin together before we left the chapel at the crematorium. Just do whatever you have to do to get through tomorrow, take yourself away in your mind if you can during the service. Your mum won't think any less of you for doing that, I hope you get through tomorrow as best you can.

It’s a big day, and it will happen and it will be fine.

Remember that you will be surrounded by people that love you and loved your mum.

My mums funeral was hard. But the actual wake afterwards was lovely. Lots of lovely talk about her.

Sending lots of courage for tomorrow.

So sorry for your loss- hope that things go as well as possible under the circumstances. Try and rest tonight 💐

So sorry for your loss.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such a deep sadness, it hurts to know this will be our final goodbye

Sending you hugs to get through it . We will be thinking of you.

I will be in your place on Thursday night, I am sure that it will all start feeling very real then

Bless you op my dad died 6 days ago and the pain is utterly indescribable. Sending you strength and hugs

for you. You will get through this. It’s an incredibly sad time.
I attended my mum’s funeral in March.
You go through the motions on the day but reflect about what has actually happened in the following days.
There is a long process ahead. Be kind to yourself.
Do you have support?
Xx

Sorry for your loss OP Be kind to yourself. Take the day in baby steps. For the next ten/twenty/thirty minutes I will be doing this... Wishing you much love and support

The only thing we are guaranteed in life when we are born is death, we don't talk about it enough. Celebrate his life tomorrow, you will no doubt hear stories you've not heard before, learn bits about him you know & remember fondly the bits you did. Tomorrow is a celebration of his life, I know you are sad to let him go, but try to celebrate all he was to you, your family & his friends. He would not want you to be sad.x

My heart goes out to you 🌷
It's the worst club in the world to belong to, but just know you will get through this. I hope that the funeral goes well and lots of happy stories are remembered and told, that's what carried me through my Mums funeral.

Somebody said something to me that became a kind of measurement of time to me and it kind of helped-
'One day you will remember her and it will draw a smile, not a tear.'
It really will happen one day.
My deepest of condolences to you. 🌷

I'm so very sorry. This is a sad time for you.

Am so sorry Op. My Dad died a year ago. On the practical side don’t forget paper hankies, mints and a bottle of water. I found reading Emma Freud’s article on funerals very comforting. This is going to take a long time, be kind to yourself. X

So sorry for your loss OP and love and hugs to you 💐💐

I'm sorry OP .
I dreaded my brother's funeral but oddly have quite fond memories of it, it was a nice service and people were lovely. The awful thing that happened was his death, not the funeral.

Just to add - In my previous message I assumed you've got emotional support. If you need us, we're here.
