I'm so sorry. You'll get through it. Here's what I did: I made sure I had an exit strategy in every room I was in. Just in case I needed to escape. I never needed it, but I made sure I knew where every exit sign was and how I could make a quiet exit if I had to. I also, when things got really overwhelming, started counting things in the room. It sounds OCD (and I'm not) but it would take me out of my head and focused on something else. For instance, someone was speaking about my mom at the small memorial service at the funeral home before the funeral mass and I could just feel myself starting to blow with anxiety and upset, so I started counting the roses in the carpeting. It focused my brain and my breathing and literally kept me in the room.
You can do it. And if you can't? So what. It's your mom and you're upset and you're allowed to be. Feel what you feel. It sucks.

You can do this. I went through it too and it stinks. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing but I don't recall much of my mom's calling hours or funeral. It's all a blur.
Sending you strength and hugs today.

Breathe. Let yourself have emotions. These are the hardest days.
Today my family has to bury my grandma. She made it to 93 years and 5 days old. My mom is a hot mess, as she’s the only one left from her family now. I’m the one who called her, went and got her and brought her to see her after she passed. We waited together until the funeral home came. It’s so hard to watch her hurting.

Sending you kind thoughts for peace and strength today. Just take things one step, one breath at a time. Take comfort in the fact that you did your very best for her until the very end. Hugs my friend.

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 so sorry for your loss. I'll be saying a few extra prayers for you today especially as you have to deal with this.

A very tough day but you can do it ! One minute at a time. Feel free to lean on your family & friends. Cry whenever you feel the need; there’s nothing wrong with showing your emotions. Deep breathing always helps me.
((HUGS)) to you ❤️

I'm sorry. Funerals are never easy but I do think they are an important part of the grieving process. Take care of yourself.
