Please don't take this the wrong way but my Dad's funeral was an absolute nightmare, apart from the obvious reason.

We watched Death at a Funeral last night - almost cracked up laughing...

nightmare how?
I am dreading friday so much. My brother asked if I could read a poem, no way...thankfully he understood. I am so dreading it though, really scared
I have nightmares every night, not just about that but just bad dreams in general

Well apart from being the saddest day of me life my stomach rumbled and rolled through the entire service and seemed to get louder the quieter it got.

Do you know, nothing. Once the funeral director sort of took charge I was very calm on the outside, but inside me stomach was protesting at high volume. We did have the most fantastic vicar who sat for hours with us just chatting a couple of days before the service.
If I think back it's because I went into sort of business mode playing a hostess, mind when I got home I really let loose.

Sort of an antacid.

Like JC, my tummy holds very loud conversations sometimes. As in people can hear it rumbling...

my brother has arranged all the funeral and the vicar he has chosen he knows very well who I have also met on occasion I think that cos I have been so strong all through the actual illness I am falling apart a bit now.

I can remember very little about my brother's funeral service...

Then Mrs. T went and passed out in the bathroom afterwards... That I remember like it happened yesterday.

That's probably it. After my Dad died (and me Mum) I did all the phone calls and bossing people about and telling them what to do and when. Then I fell to pieces. The only thing I didn't have was a clip board and stop watch.
