Speaking at mums funeral

Hi everyone, my mum passed away 3 weeks ago quite suddenly. We knew she had breast cancer but it suddenly spread quickly. She was given a few weeks to live but passed away 4 days later. Her funeral is on Tuesday and I've decided to speak at it. I feel like it's something I have to do but I feel so anxious and nervous about even been there. It all seems so final. Can anyone offer advice on how to get through this

  • I am so so sorry for the loss of your mum, my deepest sympathies are with you and your family. Sometimes there really are no right words to say and this is one of them times but I hope you are surrounded in love & comfort in the coming months. Tuesday, don’t worry about anyone else....just do what you feel you need to do. Reading at a funeral is so difficult but also nice as your sharing some of your treasured memories, even if it’s the little things like picking you up from school when you were little or if she liked dancing around or baking cakes - these little things I hope you can remember with a smile and warmth in your heart. Take it easy and be kind to yourself, you will always carry your mum safely tucked away in your heart. She will be watching over you :) Il have you and your family in my thoughts on Tuesday and hope it goes as gently as can be x
