Hi I'm Matthew,
My gran is very sick at the moment and will be gone in a few days sadly, my dad is going to say goodbye today.
I'm very worried about the funeral because I've never been to one before and usually when I go out to places it causes me to get very hot and I usually pass out. I'm in two minds about whether to go or not. In the past when talking about funerals my gran said she would love for me to go to hers but she understood if I couldn't do it. I don't know what to do. I want to be there, say goodbye and support my dad and mum but I'm not sure if mentally I am up to it. I do know what to do.
I can completely understand your worry ,
My sister had to talk me into going to my dads funeral in 2012 as i felt the same worry and panic ,
But i found people are a lot more easier to read at a funeral as you are all there to pay your respects and the places are very calm ,
It is up to you , you know if you are capable of going and by the sounds of it your nan does too ,
Take your time
