this is a hard one. my brother passed away in 01 :( and i didnt want to see him, but i was soooooooooo happy i did. it was closure i didnt know i needed. and we were very lucky that he looked just like he was sleeping. good luck whatever you do. you can always still go and not go up to the casket. your heart will tell you what to do when you are there.
Is your family forcing you to go? Are you able to stay behind, even if it's at a friend's house if the funeral is being held out of town? Let your parents know your concern if this is how you really feel. Let them know you're not being dramatic - you just really don't want to go. It's not disrespectful and hopefully they'll understand. If you feel badly about not being able to attend, send a condolense card to your aunt and/or uncle - don't give the reason why you didn't go, just offer your sympathy.
It is up to you. If you aren't comfortable, don't go. You may regret the decision later but you have to do what is right for you.
Don't if u don't want to but it might give u closure. Go to the funeral though. i'm sure ur cousin would have want u to be there
you are experiencing some very normal feelings ... there is nothing wrong with you ... before you go in locate the nearest restroom in case you do feel ill however I am pretty sure you will not ... dont be afraid to cry and try to be of comfort to the rest of the family ...
you should go to the funeral, but you dont have to view the body, just stay in your seat or go stand in the lobby when the viewing is taking place.
Just remember hes your cusin and you love him! and anyway they just look like their in a peacful sleep!
You should go. You'll feel better after the closure regardless of how you feel now. Just try to keep your mind on other things until then to keep the thoughts from overwhelming you.
If you really don't want to look in his casket, stay seated and don't go up there. You could also decide not to go, but I think funerals are a way of taking care of yourself by saying goodbye to someone. Everyone supports each other there.
I think it depends on how old you are.
If you are pretty young, maybe 8 -10 years old, you should decide for yourself if you want to go to the funeral.
Have you ever been to a funeral before? If you haven't and you think you might want to go, know what to expect when you get there. You could stand far away from the casket and watch from a distance. Do what you need to do so you will feel comfortable and safe. Best Wishes
You should be ashamed of yourself. Now be a man and go pay your respect.
