IMHO, i dont think it is a cop out to take care of your health xx Whatever feels right to you...follow you heart. I think it is great that your mom is going with you...that is a supportive resource. You are so lucky to have that kind of support.

All kinds of thoughts and feelings and what may seem like "weird" stuff comes up when someone we know passes. Especially unexpectedly and at such a young age.

Please be gentle and kind with yourself and do whatever you need to do to help you get through this difficult time.

I do understand, too...I have been though similar....it is not easy, sweetie.

Hugs,
Rose
