Venting Tomorrow is the dad's funeral... Everything feels so surreal

[Oguzok]

I really don't want to go, and I hope I won't. I didn't go to my mother's funeral, I'm afraid that people will suddenly think that I don't care... I don't want to see people crying and trying to hug me. Most of all I'm afraid of crying myself, I hate crying and I hope no one sees me like this.

I am sorry for your loss

I am very sorry about your Dads passing . Mine died last month and I dreaded the funeral but I made myself go. I think if I hadn't I would have had to live with guilt and bad feelings forever more. Regret and guilt hurt a lot.
Its just another way to think about it before you make a final decision. And remember that there's no shame in tears especially about someone you loved , no shame at all. Not ever.

Sorry to hear about your dad. My mum died last month and I really didn't feel able to go to her funeral, but I did in the end and I'm glad I did. I won't try to tell you what you should do, but thinking of you x
