Went to my 4th Wake today and it never gets any easier. I don't do well in situations like that. First, I get nervous before I go and usually can't eat for most of the day. Then, when I'm there I usually lose it and still can't eat. And finally, afterwards I'm a total mess and I can't sleep or eat for the rest of the day. All that stress and anxiety doesn't go away for days yet I would never think twice about attending. Friday is another tough day...the funeral.
