Attending a funeral-freaking out! help!!?

It IS scary the first time. It's good you are going tho. It will help your friend a lot. You just go and go talk to whomever you know there. Usually it's appropriate to go up to the casket and say a prayer, or meditate a moment, but if you don't have it in you to do that, it's OK.

Dress nicely, and go and spend a bit of time with your friend...it will mean a lot to that person. You don't have to really say anything. Just be yourself, but realize that your friend will be really upset and not themselves...that's OK too. Just go, make sure you say hello and give them a hug and then you can leave after you've stayed for a short bit.

I have been to many funerals and there is nothing to freak out about. You are probably feeling scared because most of us do have a certain fear of the unknown, perfectly normal, you don't know what to expect. I can't really tell you what to expect as different religions have different services, or it may just be a memorial service.

In any case, remember you are there to honour and celebrate the life of the person who has passed and to offer comfort and support to your friend.

You should go.

Its normal to be scared the first time, its a sensitive situation and you dont want to mess it up. But it would be very hard for you to mess it up in anyway.

Ive been to a funeral once before, it made me feel awkward as I didnt know the deceased person well or many of the people who where there. You should keep to yourself/your friend, he will have alot of people comming up to him to offer support and you should stick by his side. You wont need to say much to other people there as you will be with the deceased persons son, so they will offer him support and not expect any from you.

They are just quite usually. Some people are crying, most people are just quiet and express their condolences to the family. And no one likes going to funerals, they just go out of respect to the person that died. It helps you get closure, and with the grieving process.

first of all there are possibly issues that neither your parent shared with you as you have been transforming into up. This ex-spouse could no longer have saved your Father's babies from him if he had wanted to share of their existence. There are regulations on the subject of custody and baby help. Did he pay baby help or have visitation rights? Did any of "her" babies attend their Father's funenal? consistent with threat your brother be responsive to some issues you dont. enable it bypass that's in the previous. in case you experience this good approximately this female then do no longer enable her administration your relationship inclusive of your brother. good success!
