I am trying to get ready to go to the funeral home for my brothers visitation. I have some very bad anxiety right now with having to be around my family. I took my anxiety med last night and this morning but its not helping me. I cant not go. Please please.. tell me its going to be ok. I need some encouraging words more than anything right now.
TY,

Hugz
Bethy

It's okay, whatever happens is okay. Let us know what happened when you get back. Take us with you (if you haven't already gone).

You WILL be okay! Just try to keep focused on your goal - you are going to the funeral home for your brother's visitation - and nothing / no one else matters.

Best wishes.

Dear SWEET SUNSHINE,
If you go to the funeral perhaps you can tell your family and friends you are not feeling well and can't stay long. It is the truth and you don't have to be specific and you might also sit at the back so you can slip out if you need a break.
It is sad you are stressed out and grieving at the same time. I'm sorry for your loss. -Greg

You are in my thoughts. I'm sorry for your loss dear one. Remember to breathe deeply and slowly. Pay your respects because it's the right thing to do. Hold on tight to some good thoughts and leave whenever you feel is an appropriate time for you to leave. If you are not feeling well, then leave hon. Making an appearance and paying your respects is what is important to you.....let the others deal in their own ways and you take care of you.

Really need some encouraging words now~

Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long.
