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 hope you got through it ok. What I did when I lost my dad was didn't go to the funeral but went on my own at a later date and had my own moment where I could say goodbye. I did it in my own little way and it worked for me. If you didn't go I'm sure your grandma would have understood. I hope you're doing better now.
