My aunt died today…i have to attend the funeral…its on monday, but im real nervous about meeting the extended family, especially the cousins

Strange thing is i can talk to strangers quite comfortably but extended family and cousins are a challenge

I can’t stop myself from laughing when in funerals.

Everyone handles grief in different ways, it would be excusable that everyone is a bit off.

I’d just make sure to dress nicely, try to greet some people, but it would be ok to stay quiet. Civil and nice, respectful and stoic. That would be my mindset and preparation.

Anxiety is hard. My condolences on the loss. With a brave face and some courage, you can do it!
