What should I do?

Question

My uncle just died and his funeral is on Friday. I want to go to respect him but funerals literally make me lose my mind. I get extremely hysterical and get panic attacks. Mostly from the viewings which is what he’s having. My older sister said that maybe I shouldn’t go. I don’t knowwww

Answer

Im very sorry for your loss, I think you should go if you feel the need to.
There are always other ways to pay your respects but you should never feel pressured into missing the last time you can officially say goodbye to someone, if you make a fool out of yourself so be it. No one can blame you for your actions when your grieving and funerals are not a normal thing you should never feel normal at a funeral. I think you’re perfectly capable of going but if YOU are uncomfortable then you can say goodbye on your own terms, just keep that in mind.

Answer

I would let his immediate family know what's happens to you at funerals and explain that, that is why you might not make it to the funeral. It'll let them know that you do respect and care about him but you wouldn't be able to attend due to personal reasons
