Made It To A Funeral

[CourageofSnow]

Hi all,

I haven't been on for awhile but wanted to share with you a small success.

Last week a friend of mine passed away. He was only 26.

For the last 2 years I have not been able to attend any big events where you need to be seated for long periods of time. Triggers are feeling trapped and large crowds.

Well today I was able to go in and pay my respects at a funeral. There was about 500 people there.

I didn't stay for the whole service as I started to disassociate but I am proud of myself that I made the effort to go.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend - and think you did an amazing job by making it there.

Hi Courageofsnow, Welcome back. Yes, I wondered where would you go. I remember you from your avatar.

Sorry to hear the loss of your friend, that is very young age.

Please take care of yourself and yes, you succeed in your effort and take part in funeral event. I understand it's not an easy task to do.

I'm sorry for your loss. You are amazing for going, I don't think I could have done that. Such courage at such a hard time is impressive!

Thank you all for your comments.

It has been a hard day today, but I have survived.

Tomorrow is another day. I am thankful for friends and family who support me on the dark days.

I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know if I would have been able to go so kudos to you for being able to at least pay your respects.
