“I have never attended a burial before. I will never attend one too. I said this when I was a child and I stick by it.

“My mum’s burial will/might be my first ever. To all my friends who think I am shutting them out, my reason is I don’t attend burials.

“If I let you attend my mum’s I will owe you the same favour and I can’t repay that. If you love me, pray for my family. If you intend to support me, only pray for me.

“My pain is bigger than you think. Your presence may mean a lot but I’ll love to grieve privately,” she wrote.
