PS: sorry if it`s triggering.
Good god, I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

It's perfectly normal to feel shocked and numb following a death, worse, i imagine, when you're already depressed. Surely you can simply, politely explain to your boss what happened and how you need to be involved in the funeral?
