It really means SO, SO much
This happening, for me brings back memories from when another mate of mine who I used go school with and who was in a wheelchair, passed away
I bottled it for MONTHS before goin seein HIS family
When my mate in wheelchair died, EVERY time I went out the house to go see HIS family/parents, I just had cold shivers, started breathin/pantin heavy and quickly and just couldn't face them
all of us react this way when faced with bereavement, it's just the helpless feeling that you are going to say or do the wrong thing.
I found the best thing to do is take a deep breath,tell them you are sorry and cannot change what has happened but you are there for them and thinking of them if they need anything.
