In all your grief and sorrow, you CAN be calm at that funeral

How can you stay calm for the funeral of someone whom you have loved dearly and whose loss is overwhelming you? When we lose someone dear to us, a family member or a dearly loved friend, strong emotions rise up in us. It's easy to feel completely overwhelmed by grief.

Different experiences of grief

Grief affects us all in different ways. Some people feel like crying all the time. Other people go 'blank' and may even seem quite emotionless to others. Others may suddenly be full of nervous energy and rush around doing things, or find themselves nervously giggling and laughing. These are all normal ways of experiencing grief.

The dilemmas posed by funerals

When it comes to funerals, people often feel caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, a funeral is (usually) a public occasion. So it feels like you are somehow 'on show' - and so expected to abide by the social conventions for acceptable public behavior. To most people, this means that you must maintain an appearance of calm, no matter what you are feeling. You must look as if you are 'in control'.

On the other hand, the funeral of a loved one is an intensely personal matter, where you want to be able to show how you really feel about the person who has left this life. But showing how you really feel might risk letting those raw emotions come through. What if you 'break down'? It's hard enough to have to deal with bereavement, but how sad that social convention can add an extra burden on the day of the funeral.

How real grief can be expressed with composure and calm

Fortunately, it doesn't have to be as black-and-white as this. Ultimately, it's not a question of either/or - either showing no emotion, or letting emotions rule. With preparation, it is eminently possible to maintain a suitable composure and to express genuine emotions of loss and grief. This means that true honor can be shown to the one who has passed.
