Other people's funerals

An elderly friend's 20-something grandson committed suicide, and the funeral is tomorrow. I also know the mom fairly well, though I haven't seen any of the family in a couple of years.  My heart breaks for the family, because I now know the pain of losing a child. 

I feel like I should at least go to the visitation, but I'm having an anxiety attack just thinking about it. 

I think that all I can do is to mail a card. It's about all I can consider doing.

  1. Uh, no. Your presence is not required. They will more than understand.

    You just worry about YOU.
