The first days
Take care of yourself on the day of the service
Eat something before you leave the house. Have water. Wear layers. Ask one person to be your protector, gently steering conversations away when you need a break. You will not remember most of what people say to you.
A gentle reminder
You don't need to greet everyone or make it through every conversation. It's okay to sit down, step outside, or leave the room.
