Sending supportive thoughts for this morning. I went through OH's funeral in a daze - somehow my brain switched off and I registered very little of it cannot remember much.

You will find your own way of dealing with it and you will get through it - there will be lots of gransnetters thinking of you. Come back and talk to us.

MrsQuigley I am so sorry I hope today goes smoothly. xx

NainCC I hope too that you day goes as you wish it too. xx

MrsQuigley and NainCC condolences to you both, you will find the strength to get through this ?

I’m sorry for your loss MrsQuigley. ?

So sorry, today will be hard but just let your emotions go, shout, scream, cry do whatever you have to. My daughter, who I cared for died and I found utter peace after the funeral.

I am also in this situation, dreading it/can't wait for it to be over by this afternoon. Just sitting here waiting for the car, not due for hours. I feel for you.

We’ll be thinking of you

Such a hard day for you but you will get through.
Sending you hugs.
There are organisations like Cruse and forums you could join which might help a little.
For me it has been friends and family who have helped me through the past 18 months and the knowledge that he is with me still and love never dies.

So sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family.

You will need someone whose hand you can hold. My ds was crying, I held his hand tight and that helped me because I had someone to help get through it

The funeral goes in a whirl, people are very kind and helpful

The next day feels empty but find a job to do and make sure to have regular meals, to put structure in your day

When you are ready and in your own time, tell him that he can leave, that you will be alright, that is when you can start those baby steps to move forward
