(3,380 posts)Deepest condolences on your loss. One of the wonderful things about this forum is that we're here for each other. When I lost my husband, this place really helped hold me up.
It sounds like all plans are in place, so the best thing you can do right now is make sure to take care of yourself. Sleep can be difficult, and eating a challenge, but it will pass. You'll get through this. If you've never kept a journal, try it. The only time in my life that I did was when I was dealing with Michael's illness and death, and it really, really helps. Get your thoughts out in a way that is healthy and secure. I did a lot of ranting. And feel what you're feeling...if you want to cry, cry. Your friends and family will understand. Nobody else matters.
As for your siblings, it sounds like they chose to step out when the plans were being made. They also had the chance to talk to you about what you did way before this. Don't want to sound cold at a hard time for you, but if they don't like what you set up, sorry, but that's too bad. It's too late for changes.
Hang in there. We're here for you.
