Thread Name: I have to sing at Granny's Funeral
Subject: RE: I have to sing at Granny's Funeral
Yes I've managed it too, Janie. Nothing much to add to the excellent advice above. The one option I would not want to take is to have someone else do it for me, but it's a personal decision. I am moved to tears by all sorts of songs - not necessarily sad ones, but I've never cried while singing in this situation. I think I use Big Mick's method (and others have mentioned it) of NOT involving myself in the song as I usually do. You can sing it in your head at other times for your Granny, and it won't matter if you cry. She would understand. Good luck, Janie. Joy
