2 months ago we lost my younger brother (suicide) my mother and I were principal mourners. Now my elderly paternal aunt has died and we are expected to attend her funeral. I am determined to attend to pay my last respects. My cousin however has requested that I accompany her in the funeral car following the hearse. This I find a very difficult request. I will be unable to do this for my own mental health so soon after my db. I am racked with guilt in this but I believe I should abstain for myself.
My elderly mother I don’t feel should attend at all so soon as the grief is still so raw I am in the process of gaining counselling for her.
Not really sure what I’m asking here just needed to put it down, if you have advice thank you
