It's my mum's funeral this afternoon and I'm not sure how I'm going to get through it. My stomach is a mess of anxiety and dread

I'm sorry. It will be a difficult day but you will get through it. You are allowed to be emotional, it's okay.
You have done your Mum proud. You could do no more. Hugs to you.

'Getting through it' is very personal. Some are stoic, some weep loudly, and every other possible version of grief there is. Do what feels right for you. On the day you bury your mother, you can be a little selfish. And we'll be there with you in spirit offering you the strength to do just that.

Take care of yourself and grab some quiet moments alone whenever you can just to breathe and collect your thoughts. You can do this. Again, my condolences on your loss. ((Hugs))

It’s desperately hard, I know, but you will surprise yourself at how you will cope and it’s the most natural thing to be emotional and struggling. You know what got me through my mother’s? Brandy! My brother produced a hip flask on the way to the service and just a little sip really helped me. I’m not saying it to be trite but it settled my nerves, you might find the same.
Sending you a huge hug for this afternoon.

I know how hard this is Lainey. So many of us have been where you are, and we are with you in spirit today. You have been so strong for so long. You deserve to take your strength from those around you today. Lean on those who are there for you, to boost your own strength. This is so well said. Everyone at the funeral is there not only to honor your mother, but to love and support her family. (((Hugs)))

I know it will be a hard, emotional day for you. It doesn't feel like it now, but you will make it through this day. Cry just as much as you need to. God gave us tears to help wash the hurt away. Hugs and prayers coming your way.

You will 100% make it through but it won't be easy. When you find yourself sinking in sadness during the service or whatever setting, take just 30 seconds -- time it -- to pause and think of one good memory. One good holiday, one shared moment of laughter -- and think of how much richer your life is with that memory in it. Think of those she adored and how much joy she brought to them. That joy isn't going away -- it just looks very different now. In this moment, it seems insurmountable to overcome your grief and sadness, but you and those who loved her will, each in your own way. If it gets too burdensome, be sure to check out some grief groups in your local area. They are a wealth of support. Grief is a process -- it is real and there is an end -- but we all get there in different ways on our own schedule.
Peace to you and yours during this time.
