Hello
I have to attend a funeral a week on Wednesday of a dear friends husband who died suddenly. My problem is that she wants me to do a reading at the service. I showed her the reading I eventually want at my own and she has decided that she wants it now and that I am to read it. I have tried to navigate around it by saying perhaps a close family member should read it instead of me. I know she is grief stricken and is not thinking clearly but I will find it extremely hard to read. It took me a long time to find it and I know I don't have any ow worship over it but I feel uncomfortable. I cant obviously refuse. Any advice how to get my head round this?

Hi
All the best for tomorrow. It’s a kind thing you are doing and you are a good friend. Safe journey and if you don’t sleep well tonight, I hope you do tomorrow

Dear Ellie. This is my favourite reading. It means a lot to me because of my late boyfriend. I love the way it ends. I hope I do go home to him.
Hi Ellie,
All the best for tomorrow and I hope it all goes well for you.
love and hugs,
