I am so sorry. It must be incredibly overwhelming. Be good to yourself and allow yourself to grieve. (( HUGS ))

I am so very sorry to hear of all your recent loss. It's hard enough when we lose loved ones, but when deaths come so close together it's just excruciating.

Don't pressure yourself to go to the viewing if you're feeling you can't. Funerals, wakes, etc are rituals for the living. It brings peace to some but not to all. It's a personal choice that no one can make except you.

My father's funeral (he was 42) and both my brothers' funerals (one was 38, the other 42) all traumatized me. You must put your own well-being first. Trust me, I did not and I paid the price. Please take care of you.

I understand the overwhelming amount of grief you're dealing with. I too have been going through a rough time.

I lost my Mom in January, my favorite aunt in March, and my cousin (her son) 8 days later in April.

Last week an in-law took her own life. She was only 45. I too wonder how much more a person/family can take.

Keep posting if you need too. I'll try to help if I can. People do care Tmac.
